I get the feeling that brick and mortar bookstores may be going the way of the dinosaurs. I hope I am wrong though.

Absolutely. But I wouldn't mind working at a little corner one, not necessarily one like Borders or Barnes and Nobles.Not really to be honest- i prefer the pleasure and relaxation involved with browsing a bookshop and looking at all the genres than the financial reality of owning and running a store!
It would be pretty cool in that cozy comfy environment that's pure relaxation.

I fear that. I am also horrified by these computer book things (sorry, do not know what they called) Although handy for travelling I suppose, I am repulsed by the idea of not having a page to turn. I also like second hand books where you sometimes see notes and like in the margin.get the feeling that brick and mortar bookstores may be going the way of the dinosaurs. I hope I am wrong though.
Talking of which the financial margins on boookstores are very tight I think? My favourite is antiquarian / 2nd hand book shops. Can be rather profitable as well if you keep an eye out for hidden treasures.
