Wow, this is a white-hot thread, huh? If I were Borders, I'd be looking at the total non-response to their announcement with more than a bit of worry.

My own reaction is: I can self-publish on the #1 bookseller's site for free, and on the #2 bookseller's site for free, and on Smashwords with distribution to B&N, Kobobooks, Diesel, Apple and the Sony store for free. Yet Borders wants ninety bucks for distribution through Borders and...not sure who else.

I really have to wonder what a Borders business meeting looks like. It's like a business run from the Bizarro planet.
