The kindle is only, what, 2 years old? You can't blame the demise of the highstreet book shop on Kindle when the decline has been going on for a lot longer.I think it's more to look to society, look at the riots and how waterstones was the only retail that wasn't touched.
Look at WH Smiths, they've adapted to the market, and without adapting, that's where we get failure.

WH Smiths don't really sell books anymorethey sell them as a small overpriced mainstream collection.
