I guess I didn't make myself clear. I wasn't envisioning it as "the future" -IE- this is the way and the only way it will be done. Evar. Period. Dot dot. =)

I enjoy physical book stores, but I rarely purchase physical books anymore. Until I finish my library shelves and stuff, there just isn't room.

I just picture it as an extension of a digital store. Plus, some people like to get out and look at other people instead of being couped up in their house all day. I think it would be another one of those useless features that someone would like (IE/book sharing, mp3 capabilities, all the other gizmos on readers)

Some people (IE/me) also have a bit of a collectors mentality. Some people just. like. books.

Some people think they're killing the environment slowly and only read portable bits of html code called ebooks.

I do both.

I love going into book stores, for some reason I feel a sense of wonder every time I step into one. Whether it be from the knowledge in the non fiction stuff to the entertainment in the fiction. It's just pretty darn cool. And I like looking at pretty pictures and shiny covers. =)
