interesting idea IF (big IF) the average book reader was as much of an early adopter as the average HN reader/technophile w/a kindle. There are still millions of people who rely on printed books. Kindles may be selling well, but not as well as we'd like to think. What about people shifting their book buying to places like walmart and target where they get cheaper prices and only sift through the top 100 books out? I read more on my ipad now than I do books, but still buy physical books from time to time. There are lots of situations where I can't use a digital reader (the beach for instance). but the author's idea could work, in 2020. In the meantime how does the store support their costs and leases on physical spaces off of ever declining physical good sales? I'd like to see bookstores turn more into community (for profit) spaces. Teach stuff, sell more coffee around these workshops/gatherings.
