What "Gap"? Why should a book (paper or electronic) be any different from all the things that are increasingly being purchased Online? If there is no need to actually hold it in your hand, to insure it fits, or insure that it is really what it claims to be, more and more are buying online. As for "specialty items", Amazon's approach offers all kinds of "outside" vendors of almost arcane nature. At some point, if it can be bought online, it will be most often bought online. ( We already have commercials where young people are buying furniture using their smartphones.)
