This article explains.
I was sad to see Borders close. While there were definitely cheaper ways to get books, for me, nothing beat browsing through thousands of new books. With Borders' coupon and reward system, of which I upgraded to the $20 program earlier this year (good timing right?) one could find very affordable reads. Using coupon and membership program, I often received 50% off a new book thus matching some used bookstore prices.
Also, Borders beat the pants off of Barnes and Noble. Borders had far better current issues, politics, economics and philosophy sections than B&N. They also didn't feel as fake as B&N for some reason, not as "poppy."
I will miss you, Borders.
