But who would do this? As I watch the snow come down outside, I'm really happy that I don't need to go out to buy...well, anything. And since I read book reviews mostly on my computer, and enjoy the ease of going from the review directly to Amazon if I'm interested (and before I forget), I'm not sure why I would go into a "book showroom" in the first place.
I do think that pbooks will continue to exist for a long time, as will bookstores, but that bookstores won't be able to really appeal to e-book purchasers.
