I think you are right, what I think is missing is the "salesman". A little expert you can go to and ask questions about stuff you want to buy. You don't get it. Yes amazon got some features like "others who bought that did buy this"... but it by far doesn't replace the expert you get in a good bookshop.
You might be able to have the waitstaff provide book advice, too (and even reader device info), but you'd have to pay them more, which would drive up the price of the beverages, etc. sold in the café. I still think it could work, especially if you had events like book clubs, author readings, etc. I keep hoping for something like this to happen. I'd spend tons of time in a place like that.
