I still think the death of bookstores is over-exaggerated. With Waldenbooks, Borders and B.Dalton gone, who's left to sell books besides B&N?
That said, I would expect rather than the enormous size of B&N stores, we would see a reduction in size to more stores of the size that Waldenbooks and the like were before. I can't imagine why we would have stores the size of a Sears selling books...not enough to prosper, anyway.
But hey, B&N survived and they didn't, so what do I know? I would have thought the opposite - that the mega-size bookstore would die first and the smaller/more efficient ones would survive.
