I was just reading a blog post predicting the demise of Barnes and Noble. As an inveterate bookstore browser, I've often had this thought myself lately. Since Borders went belly up, B&N bookstores are pretty much the only ones left in my area, and it looks like their shutting down is only a matter of time. The brick and mortar stores just can't compete with Amazon on price.
The phenomenon of brick and mortar stores being replaced by online stores doesn't seem to just be confined to books. It's interesting to speculate what the retail landscape will look like in 10 or 20 years. What kinds of brick and mortar stores, if any, will still be around? Will online retailers start their own showrooms?

Is brick and mortar retail doomed?
