I personally think what really served to kill Borders was its policy 
of continuing to sell books and CDs (with few exceptions) at list 
plus prices, especially after Amazon came along. I won't miss it. 
Barnes and Noble has had the same policy and they're next. These 
giants killed of the neighborhood book stores and then stuck it to 
their customers. A pox on them both.
