My own thought would be something like buy an SD card with so much credit on it-- go to the kiosk in the store, browse for books, load and leave. The card could either come with its own login to the ebook store, or you can add your own.

What I would like to see is you go into the bookstore, plug your reading device into some computer terminal, purchase your books and they get loaded onto your device and away you go off to read. That would make purchasing ebooks sorta like purchasing dead tree books. You can go into a shop, talk to people, see what's what and then purchase what it is you want in electronic form.
