I think in general B&M stores of all kinds are going away, Borders is just one more example. This was highlighted by the fact that I was in Borders try to buy a book not long ago and the cashier ringing up my order told me that I should put the book back and order it from their online store because it was 20% cheaper there.
There will remain some B&M stores, because people still prefer some tactile feed back in many markets, but over all I think they are fading away. I know I do at least 80% of my non-grocery shopping on one, and judging by the UPS/FEDEX trucks that make daily runs to my street alone, I am not the only one.
