I'd be surprised to see the reemergence of small book stores. They still can't compete with the price of Walmart, Sam's Club, grocery stores, etc. when it comes to price. Nor can they compete with Amazon and B&N on price or selection.
I have to say that I buy my books through Amazon now a days, but before I had a Kindle, I prefered the Mega stores to the local mom & pop bookstores with their over priced books, paltry selection, no coffee, and nowhere to sit. Don't want to go back to that.
