I personally think that "smaller" book stores might have the right answer. Also...having more options like rare books, hard to find additions and such.
But, I also feel that Borders didn't embrace the electronic book wave that Amazon and Barnes and Noble did with the Kindle and the Nook.
There are times where I prefer the feel of a hard or paperback book in my hands. But there are times when I simply appreciate the deep discount that my Kindle can provide.
But nothing beats the personal touch that a "smaller" book store can provide. I call it the "Cheers Effect". Everyone wants to go where "everybody knows your name".
