Online shopping is a god send for rural areas. It's the same situation as catalog shopping pre-internet. The same dynamic for broadband internet services and for that matter cell phones. It's a totally different market.

I misunderstood then. You said that when you lose access to the bookstore (bookstore goes belly up), that the book clubs that previously went to a bookstore are now migrating to a coffee shop. At least how I interpreted it. In areas where there never has been bookstores a coffee shop would not do either due to size. Libraries do fill that void in more rural areas.
