DVD kiosk selection criticized
September 1, 2008
The Sacramento (Calif.) Bee: DVD kiosks are rising in popularity, but consumer is not keeping up with the demand. About 10,000 DVD kiosks were in operation in the United States at the end of 2007, but they make up only 2.4 percent of the DVD-rental business. And even though renting from kiosks is convenient and cheap, "kiosks are not a threat to replace video stores," says Tom Adams, president of Adams Media Research. Poor video selection is the primary threat to video stores, Adams said.
