When MS buys B&N, they will add bestsellers to their MS stores and everything else will be available for order. They may even print and bind books at the store. When you order a book (which will be shipped free to your home or store), MS will send en e-book to your account.
What % of book sales are to schools and libraries these days? The publishers still have customers. It's just the B&M stores that are under pressure.
