EXACTLY!!!!

After I opened the first (I dunno maybe) 10 of those emails hopefully looking for a nice bargain and was bitterly disappointed to find all the deals expressly EXCLUDED ebooks I became a bit peeved.

I even sent an email to them asking if they could only send me emails that related to ebooks as that was all I would ever be buying and was getting rather frustrated at all the offers that I couldn't use. They didn't respond...

I would just unsubscribe but I have received an email with a discount code from kobobooks.com which saved me a bit of money. I live in hope that Borders might send me one sometime...
Yeah I know - I'm dreaming.
