Well, I'm not so sure about that, but in the meantime, I'm pleased by the idea of bookstores selling electronic books. Sometimes, I am in a pressing need for a book-- I can't find it at my university's library, and no bookstore in the area has it. I've jumped in the car numerous times to drive to the next city to buy a book that I've needed **right then**! (And I live in a major city; not a small town). So the idea that the bookstore could sell me an electronic copy of book they didn't have in the store is awesome! That, of course, would require that an electronic copy exists, and I guess that's still a problem; not enough digital context exists at the moment, especially content target to the academic market.
