I would not get overly concerned about Borders becuase after some research on Borders last night there is some facts here that need to be explained. Borders is not one company its actually three different companies: Borders Book Group, Borders Book Stores and Borders Online. Think of borders as a two legged stool if one can be thought of. Borders Book group is the seat on top of the stool where you sit and Borders Book Stores and Borders Online are the two leggs. Borders Book Stores is obviously the one that runs the stores and is the one that is going into chapter 11. Borders Online runs the web site and is not having any financial problems nor is it going into chapter 11 and is going no where. Border's Book Group owns the other two companies and is having some finacial problems due to the book store chapter 11 but is still solvant.
The short answer is: just becuse the stores are going to chapter 11 that means nothing for the online operations You will still be able to buy a Kobo or Libra Pro for $100 at the online store and they will send it to you, most likely UPS. Your local Borders going out of business and won't be in your neighborhood anymore, don't be concerned order what you want at borders.com they will still be there your book store is going to cyberspace rather than the traditional street corner.
