Ok here's my 02¢.

I think very few people will go to the store if they don't have to. As much as it seem cozy to go to the book store... you can get that same social aspect online... for example here. We have many threads about books and authors which help people discover new stuff.

So, while it sounds like a good idea I think practically it won't be able to sustain a brick and mortar store.
