    Book Stores becoming "Life Style" Retailers?

    Book stores, under assault from the rise of eReaders are going to need to diversify their offerings or face extinction. Barnes & Noble has recently hinted it was for sale and Borders has been in trouble for years. By selling food, books that can't be easily converted to Kindle or iPad files (e.g. Large Format Photography), and now educational toys, book stores might be able to hang on and mutate into something impressive in the post codex world. The most inspiring vector these big box titans could follow would be broadening scope, focusing on the sale of "knowledge" instead of paper, and expanding their scope of merchandise and services to incorporate other "smart" products. This new planogram is an inspiring step in that direction.
