A reader: "My local Borders closed down about a year ago. I went to their liquidation sale when prices were touted at 30% off everything. The store was mobbed and there were people carrying around carts of books. I picked up a few that were on my Amazon wishlist, looked at the prices and then chuckled. I was on the phone with my wife and said, 'I came here planning on buying a bunch of books, but the prices are still higher than Amazon, which I guess explains why they are going out of business!' I put the books back on the shelves and went home to my computer." (hat tip: Andrew Sullivan)
