You would think people would learn from history, but they never seem to. Ebooks are here to stay and the business model will need to adapt to that change just as the music industry has had to adapt to digital media. That will mean part of the model will become obsolete and another part will grow.
I will personally miss the small bookstore, the knowledge they had and the atmosphere they created, but the mega-retailer doesn't offer me anything more than I can get from the web. The value they brought was more titles under one roof, but with that the expertise, customer service and atmosphere vanished. They're value proposition has been eroded with the web and ebooks.
