This could be interesting. A brick and mortar for deliveries based on Amazon.com

Forgo the 99 bucks and still get 2 day shipping.

Just a thought.

I buy my books on-line from B&N and have them delivered to the nearest B&N.

That way I don't have to worry about my packages getting stolen off my porch before I get home.

Maybe Amazon is thinking along those lines.

Also, the main reason for them to NOT have brick & mortar stores is because of the unfair advantage they had of not having to collect sales tax from their customers. But now that that advantage is being whittled away, there's no reason for them not to try their hand at brick and mortar retail.

Books? The only books I buy are collectible gun/firearms reference books that have been in print for years.

You can get most any other type of information (including firearms) online. I like having reference books because I use them frequently. I just can’t imagine this being a profitable staple for them for the general consumer.

We’ll see how it all shakes out. I certainly wouldn’t put any money in it.
