Books in the Station

Posted Tue, 10/23/12

What a cool idea!

Irish bookstore chain Eason has launched a virtual mobile bookshop at Connolly Station in Dublin. From now until Christmas, commuters can purchase titles from the outlet that "looks like the shelves in a bricks-and-mortar store, displaying images of book covers from bestselling fiction, sport, kids, and food and drink titles that incorporate a QR code," Silicon Republic reported. After the holidays, Eason plans to bring the virtual bookshop to other locations throughout the country.

I wonder if it will catch on?
