Amazon to open first B&M store
Apparently now that Amazon as just about single handedly closed down all your favorite physical book stores, they're opening a store of their own.

okay, I'm being a bit dramatic here, but their first B&M store is opening soon! It will act as a warehouse and a place to pick up online orders and have limited inventory from what the article says

Be interesting to see if the prices at their B&M store is the same as online prices.

You mean collect taxes. They already have to do so even online in many cases, so now there is no reason to not expand to B&M stores.

Amazon already collects sales tax in 23 states.

But isn't it more voluntary in most?

I think Amazon now charges taxes in states where they have "fulfillment centers" (warehouses). For two or three years they fought doing that, then finally gave in. I know I've been paying taxes in Texas for a couple years now.

Voluntary but under pressure to do so. Amazon fought it for a while.

For the benefit of those who don't have a subscription to the WSJ, you can read the same story here:

But still not much in the way of details are available.
