It's hard to imagine Amazon getting into B&M retail but then the Amazon/Kindle brand is powerful as the B Dalton mini-mart model might make sense. It's hard to see the margins there given how poorly the industry is doing already.
The only caveat is Apple. It seemed crazy talk a few years ago when they announced their intention to open a few stores. That seems to have worked out alright. Made it could for Amazon, too.
