I spoke to a small, university type bookstore employee recently and she said B&N and Borders hit small bookstores hard just like Walmart has affected small businesses throughout the U.S. She does think that ebooks is having an effect though said it's more than that.
Somewhat similar, our mailperson (postal clerk????) has told my office that email, epostage and the internet in general is the main reason the USPS is in trouble. I'm sure uber poor management had nothing to do with it.
I hate to see any business go down but I never did go to these bookstores much and got what I wanted thru Amazon before going the ebook way.
