> Sounds to me like most people don't value the sort of service that was formerly available. Or it is not enough value for the money. Face it, Amazon changed the way people buy books. Instead of relying on some store clerk who 'might' know something about a book, you can go on Amazon and find reviews of others who have read the book. I one time used MySimon.com to find a computer book and it came back with the lowest price being Walmart.com. I guess the Borders and BN keep in business for the folks who want to go and touch and feel the books. There is the speed aspect to consider as well. Otherwise, I just go the library... YMMV David L.
