Going to a physical store to buy a digital product is about as pointless as it gets, especially as more and more reading devices go wireless.

I mean, really. Should we stop getting mail delivered to our homes, and pick it all up at the post office, just to keep the branches in business?

Bookstores may have social value, but gimmicks like this are not going to save them.
