Local writer stops by the Amazon store:

Pics and observations.

Interesting nuggets:

Quote:

We confirmed this at the register. No cash accepted. The Amazon Books experience is as close to online shopping as possible.
Quote:

Or do you have ideas? Jot them down. Or tell someone. They’ll write it on a sticky note.
Quote:
And some things they didn’t have.

No POD (Print On Demand) Kiosk
QR Codes to purchase ebooks online
That last one is too good to pass up: I can see Amazon adding it.
Also, tying the store with the Matchbook effort.

Big reveal is the no cash policy.
Not sure how long that can last...
