Death of the Chains -- Opportunity for Zines?

 The death of the bookstore-chains seems like maybe a HUGE opportunity for zinesters and 99%-artists! What is life going to be like after the bookstore-chains are gone? Why, look to the zinesters! They never were part of the chain world! Has there been any buzz here at WMZ since Borders died and B&N is fading? Is the time finally right, perhaps, for more zine stores? Big, cumbersome chains killed the indies. Now the chains are dead. Too big to fail, eh? Ha! What's next? Seems like a retail mode that is small, light and nimble might be the next thing. Yeah, Kindle, sure. But there's more to media than a black box.
