I can buy ebooks in any physical bookstore right now. Or at Starbucks, the local hiking trail, the bathroom at home, or anywhere else I can get a Sprint connection. I don't need the store to offer them to me. Of course if your ereader does not have wireless then you'll have to make some physical connection so I suppose there could be a case made for those readers. The physical store companies would be wise to offer ebooks, be it via a web connection or a physical connection, or they are looking at losing out on what will probably become the major avenue for selling books.
