I love physical books, but I can’t say I didn’t see this coming.

Bummer. They fill my bookshelves with 33% off
coupons plus another 10% with paid membership.
I have their low end Kobo reader. Best with epub,
but usable with pdf. Lighter than paper books.

This makes me sad and frustrated. I love books, I love bookstores, I love NEW books, and I love Borders, where there’s a convenient place to spend more money than I should on books and music and magazines I didn’t even know existed. Don’t die, Borders!

Border’s, like B. Dalton, prices are ridiculous compared to Amazon for physical books.
Compete or die.

The continuing death of Western civilization as we go back into the Dark Ages.
When they turn the power off, the “digital books” will be gone too.

Good.
I haven’t shopped at Borders since they refused to carry a magazine that published the Mohammed cartoons.
Glad to see them go belly up.

There’s that recovery again... the economy is so strong it can even support a major book retailer like Borders! /s

They are based out of Ann Arbor MI, i.e. Moscow on the Huron. I wonder how many Statist run the company. If so is their a Schadenfreude moment here....
