  Tsk tsk tsk.   Sad for them.   One less outlet for people to find book.

  I have my heart for Borders because this is what happened to CD Chain Sembawang Music went bankrupt because nowadays people usually download instead of buying CDs anymore.   Sembawang Music was my source of CDS.

  the world is changing, many business will be replaced or adapt. Bookshops will be history in the future as more and more people are no longer interested in the physical books.
