Now that I think more about it, I realize that an in-store kiosk is likely unnecessary: if you can download wirelessly, you can download anywhere, in or out of a bookstore. And since both the Kindle and the Nook allow me to access the store, I have the catalogue that any kiosk would provide. This makes me wonder even more about the eventual disappearance of the bookstore.
Ralph Sir Edward: my apologies, I did not mean to come on so strong. As a French speaker, I do not understand the use of a French word for this ever more popular device, but that's my problem. Incidentally, my comment was not addressed to you in particular, others in this thread use that word (which, of course, was the subject of another long thread).
