And you don't need megastores for that, just a revamp of the B. Dalton mall stores.

Starbucks lets you order from your phone, walk into the store, go to the bar and pick up your drink and walk back out without standing in line to pay.
What if Amazon allows you to walk into a store, flex the capacitive jingle-bit differentiator on the Amazon or Kindle app on your smartphone, pick up a book (or other) off the shelf and walk out with it without ever standing in line at a register? I think that'd be popular.
