Amazon ... could they ...

go on to establish retail book stores, or buy B&N?

There are already coffee shops in many B&N stores ...

Amazon, B&N, Starbucks/Seattle/ ...

A Grand Cafe, a place for donuts, coffee, brunch, books,
music, culture and a place to buy the daily Washington Post?

What the Post needs, IMO, is a smaller, cheap, quick-read summary
paper that everyone in the nation must-have, and read in a coffee shop
bookstore that drips culture and couture.

A thinking man's USA 2Day to counterbalance tabloids and tabloid-equivalent
Cable TV trash.

Perhaps a WaPo/Amazon channel or satellite feed? Delivered to your smartphone?

Anyone extrapolating along with me?
