Book Commercials & Misanthropic Observations

Borders, you are losing me to Amazon

Yes, Borders, your new website is very pretty. Nice use of flash on the bookshelf. However, I wasn’t even able to find your search store inventory feature, which was often what would convince me to get in my car and drive over to Woodbury in the first place.

With one step into the store 2 weeks ago it was clear, with your new spacious walkways and outward facing book covers, that you have drastically reduced your physical inventory. This does not bode well for browsers like me.

I will miss the regular adventures to your stores, being surrounded by the smell of new books, and the happy unpredicted possibilities for a new topic of reading. I won’t be wasting gas at these prices on such an anemic experience as you offer these days.
