I wasn't arguing for it. I was discussing it. I'd thought about it before for physical bookshops and decided it wasn't a viable idea. Physical bookshops could maybe have POD eventually. POD is only viable right now for the main warehouse of a big bookshop chain, like Barnes&Noble/Waterstones.
Also in the long term physical bookshops will depend on the sort of books always going to be much poorer on phones, tablets and eink.
Paper and ebooks have overlap, but eventually will serve different content:
