I like borders and will tend to buy from them using a coupon when feasible but I think more than amazon it has been the kindle, nook, ipad etc that is hurting them. It is really hard to justify $28 for the new hardback from Borders (or any store) when I can wait and get it cheaper used or electronically.

Really this is something that the traditional media cannons (books, movies and music) are having to deal with. How do you justify the price when you no longer have the cost involved?
