So, the face of book stores are changing. As a company that couldn't adapt to the digital books, Borders has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection.
Retailers like Amazon, and Indie book stores are thriving. Maybe this is a change in the times. Have books become moot and pointless. In many respects, I believe that the classics are being replaced with video games and technology. Not to bash technology, I believe our society is relying more upon technology. And companies who can't keep up are left in the dust.

I work for Borders and I just helped shut down one store, and I learned today that we're gonna shut down one of our big locations. It sucks, but I think there will always be people who prefer physical books over digitized, myself included. The e-readers are drastically changing everything.
