Cruel but appropriate. Borders has been one of my favorite stores to visit since it opened at the Maine Mall in South Portland and in spite of filing for bankruptcy that store and three others in Maine are expected to remain open. Obviously I love browsing at bookstores both ones that sell new books and those that sell used books and Borders is no exception. They just flat out have more going on than the others I visit. But the stores aren't their only problem – their online presence and ebook stuff apparently isn't competitive enough. I buy books online from them, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and recently from The Book Depository in Great Britain so it's not like I'm super loyal to anyone place but Borders is my "comfort" bookstore. I hope they get their act together and come on strong, there's plenty of business for everyone.
