Department Store where I'm at is selling books by kiosk's placed in the aisles at strategic places. Reason? Shelf space is more expensive than backend space. The customer pushes a button for the book, a voucher is printed out that is bar coded. When the voucher is swiped at the cash register it triggers the delivery of the book in two days by mail or they retrieve it on the spot with a two minute additional wait. Key is that the kiosk sale isn't limited to just credit or bank cards that swipe at the box... Cash also plays there. Think of the retail floor space to be saved.
