Since people seem to think that the off-topic section is for political discussion, something that is frowned upon, I have temporarily closed the section. ANY political discussions in any other forum will be deleted and the user suspended. I have had it with the politically motivated comments.

No reason not to. For a while, Border's e-store was just a webpage that fulfilled orders through Amazon. You "ordered" through Border's page, but Amazon shipped you the product in a Border's box and packaging.

Not sure if that is the current business model, but if the Border's brand and website are preferred by certain customers, that's a very low cost way of doing business.


Quite true. I'm still upset that my local Borders was one that had to close. It isn't shocking, we don't have the size here to sustain both a B&N and Borders. But the magazine selection at Borders was much better (they had Warbird Digest which I love to get when I can afford it.)

The fire sale at Borders starts today. I'm headed there in about 5 minutes.
