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.
32" would be nice but I'm thinking 24" would do for a bookstore if you set them at eye height atop the island bookshelves.

And no, 10" will *not* do.
You need somthing that will cover a good angle of vision at arm's length.
Malls have this kind of panel so it's not blue sky stuff.

Obviously they didn't give much thought to ergonomics.
