Become the premier online retailer, initially and especially of books, drive the brick-and-mortar stores under, then stage a comeback for the readers who like to browse bookstores for their fix.

Borders is gone, and B&N is on its last legs.

I'd say a brick-and-mortar Amazon bookstore is a genius move.

I thought it funny as well. It’s right next to the Capital One coffee shop. I asked the girl in the CO how many new bank accounts they had opened since serving coffee. She wasn’t aware of any! But, I did buy coffee.
