    Then how do you explain Barnes and Noble staying in business?

      They're not exactly doing so well. Remember Borders?

        Well I don't believe thats because of libraries. More because of ebooks.

          Yep, but don't forget the almighty Amazon also... they're doing massive damage to all brick and mortar stores.

            Well, wouldn't they fall under eBooks too? I mean, their big product is the Kindle. And I think its safe to say, that as the Kindle/ebook readers become more of a household thing, their sales of physical books will fall too.

            Yep can't disagree with u there. As for the vending machine thing, I guess I thought of it more as a redbox machine :)
