I'd said before(and still believe today) that the best option for Borders is to be aquired by Amazon. Then you could browse the stores and sample what you wanted before you bought it. They could do in store promotions unique to each store and when you ordered from them, you could ship it to your local store free the same way that Wal-Mart does now. Also, you could pay cash in store or use your Amazon account to check out. It's a perfect fit IMHO.
