Funnily enough, I got started in the business running an online bookstore. And I haven't bought a book online in years - and I buy a lot of books.

Most of the independent bookstores where I live have been long wiped out. This type of move by Borders is a walmartization of the book industry to the web. And what that does is create more opportunities for local indie bookstores again. Ones that can provide either niche markets, or solid service.
