Borders files for bankruptcy

[PanthaSan]

We have a Borders and I will go there if I am really needing something. Barnes and Noble has a Starbucks and plays better music IMHO. I can go there and be browsing for 2 hours just like I do at Home Depot.

Borders in Winston has its own coffee, similar to Starbucks, but cheaper. I like it a lot, because I like to get a cup of coffee and read a little of the book I am buying before I buy it. Also border's prices are a little cheaper than Barnes and Noble. I don't even consider buying a book on Amazon unless it has a significant preview. I don't have a lot of time to read anymore, and don't want to waste it with a crappy book. I hope the borders in Winston doesn't shut down.

I'm shocked an obsolete mega-chain that serves only to encourage loitering can't make it in this economy.

[pstall]

so a company that has a financial section AND self help goes bankrupt??

Reading is stupid so I don't care.
