I suppose I could maybe see some simplified version of that working with a URL printed here and there or in an airport giftshop requiring nothing more than a poster with a URL. No inventory, no space requirements beyond a spot to tack up a poster. Better yet, airport waiting areas! Of course, you have to have better pricing or something else compelling to even get the average "ereader"(a delightfully incorrect use of the term...) to bother checking out your site, let alone want to trust you with a credit card transaction or the like(paypal).

OTOH, if you could supply some reason for them to check you out, like maybe offering free wifi for the user to go look at your site and check an email, etc. for a few minutes as long as they keep browsing... What could it really cost to put up a poster and get some company that already has a shop there to let you sponsor their FREE WIFI and thereby get your own thing off the ground? I would think such places would be ideal spots to sell ebooks, games and movies for a long flight or wait. Let's face it, unless you're a road warrior hellbent on working you probably need something to do in an airport while waiting for your flight or during a delay. But the real key would be to undersell the competition or offer something they can't or just don't -better than underselling, maybe that would be as simple as accepting program points from whatever airline or credit card program.
