Then you would log in with your Borders eBook account, search for books you'd like to purchase, purchase them using a credit card or gift card. Then you would just plug your reader into the USB cable at the desk, and click the Synch button to copy the new books to the reader.
(I work at a Borders, and this is the set up that we have. Other stores might have something different.)

That's very interesting, jsites. I will have to see if they've added one of these stations to my local Borders. I am curious. Does it get much use in your store? What kind of user is it targeted to? I am just trying to understand why someone would use this machine in-store rather than just download and transfer from home.
