Would be cool if one can bring in their e-reader to a physical store, browse the physical bookshelf, and using simple magical scanning skills (which would mean camera is needed), purchase the e-book.

If they run out of credits (there should be credits to accumulate that can go towards discounts, they can top up their account using their debit or credit cards at the physical store easily. It's good to entice people into the bookstores regardless; because there lies a different form of temptation to purchase *something* as opposed to that in an online store.

It seems like the the paper book industry might get slaughtered, but there will always be people who like collecting favourites in physical form. Like I'd get the latest CDs for my favourite bands even if I already have a digital copy of the music.
