That's pretty sad - we use borders a lot for audio books for my son as they tend to have a pretty big range. We use audible also, but there are times when it's nice for him to go in and buy one every now and then.

It's the same everywhere, internet is killing the high street of most advanced economies. I miss it from an aesthetic viewpoint, and there's something nice about browsing through bookshelves looking for books to buy. But I can save shedloads off amazon, and by 90% of my books from it these days.

If someone could structure a company like Borders as a charity, they'd stand in line to make an awful lot of money.
