It's not hard to imagine a modern book store that can compete with online on features and services. You just have to think of what readers need/want instead of what publishers want.

My library has this. They replaced the computers with free standing iPads. Complete disaster.
You would need large touchscreens (32" at least). Super sophisticated software with an easy to use UI. And have them at or near tables so you can sit and write notes.
