I’m on the road. On a given day, I may need access
to multiple books. I commute to work on my
Harley with a few books in my backpack. It’s
heavy and I often guess the wrong books for
the work day. An e-reader (my Droid phone)
keeps far more books accessible with no weight
penalty. Shipping is dirt cheap compared to the
paper books. I buy a paper computer book
about once a week. Often from a Borders store at
a 40% discount. Their financial woes aren’t due to
a lack of patronage from me.

I’m in Retail. They’re either jackin’ the price up sky-high to begin with to give you and others a 40% discount, or they’re just your basic liberal business idiots.
They also own Walden Books - they closed TWO HUNDRED STORES in 2010! That’s at least 4K American jobs gone.
