I know Amazon has a huge presence, but my local B&N is typically not hurting for business. There is almost always a wait in the checkout line even with multiple cashiers. Some people still like the experience of walking around a book store.

It has been mentioned that Fictionwise has been working with Astak (an therefor Jinke) on this effort. And it is likely fairly far along with lots of assistance. I would expect that once eReader software runs on Linux the door will be open.
