KathyH,
I think your post and a few above it have hit the nail on the head as to why Borders-Hilo is closing: it was a fabulous place to hang out, drink coffee, listen to music, talk story, play, use wifi, etc -- but it was a crappy place to actually buy books. And I bet that all the hawaiiana section (and other prime merchandise) was packed in boxes and shipped to the Kona store as soon as the closing sale started...
