Starting their own Web retailing sounds like a big waste of money. I don't know of any advantage they can provide over Amazon. An even bigger mistake if that means Amazon will no longer accept Borders gift cards.

On the other hand, most of the Waldenbooks stores are too small, and don't have a diverse enough inventory to attract a lot of customers. So closing them in favor of the larger Borders stores would be a big plus.
