Maybe -all- the corporate bookstores will tank. And then the little indies with their low overhead and innate charm could fill the welcome void.<p>That'd be good. Cuz: you can't browse through hundreds of books at Amazon, and make those amazing discoveries that change your life. And you can't pick something on a whim and take it home to read that evening at Amazon. You can't talk to a human being, or meet other readers at Amazon.<p>Only the little bookstores ever have that oddball stuff that bigstores will never carry that you can pick up and smell and leaf through and take a chance on.<p>Corporate bookstores weren't an improvement, they were a symptom.
