I'm sorry to see that Borders is closing, but I'm not surprised. In the past 6 weeks, I've visited 3 times to purchase best sellers and/or books that should be in stock there (like the Culture Shock Hawaii book someone here recommended). Borders never had anything I wanted in stock, but they were up to their eyeballs in discount cookbooks like "1001 Crockpot Meals." So the decision became "do I drive to Hilo and hope they have my book, or do I go online and know I'll have book in hand in a few days with free shipping?"
