Will This Be the Last Year for Mega Bookstores?

It wasn't that long ago that Christmas shopping for me included two essential stops: Virgin Megastore and Tower Records. Both retail chains which had been pillars of the industry vanished overnight. And I now find myself wondering if during Christmas 2011 if the same thing will happen to Barnes & Nobel and Borders? Just as Napster and later iTunes devastated chain record shops I'm already seeing the signs that the Kindle and the iPad are delivering body blows to huge book stores.
