I don't see my local Borders on this
store closing list. I buy most of my books at Amazon these days, but it's nice to have a bookstore where I can go to browse through actual, physical, books, on actual shelves.
Around here, we've got one Borders and one Barnes & Noble, and not much else. In Somerville, we used to have one small bookstore for new books, and two used book stores. They're all gone now, though I think one of the used book stores just moved to a different town.
I do hope Borders survives. I try and buy stuff there once in a while, even if it's more expensive than Amazon, just to help keep them afloat.
