At least here there is still Book-A-Million. I think it will happen and it will not be bad for us. They will still face the competition from Amazon and perhaps prices will go even lower if Amazon has a larger national chain to worry about.
Look at it from another view, they see the future and it is not pbooks. Amazon is better positioned to deliver ebooks tomorrow as they do pbooks today.
Envision this from the future, you walk into the Boarder & Nobles and select several books that you can glance at on the shelves. You swipe a wand on the back of them and proceed to the checkout. There a clerk takes your wand, ebook reader (we service all readers), and your credit card. A moment or two later the books are in your reader, your account is charged, and you're on your way out of the store.
