I'm doubtful that Borders is going to have the DR1000 available for sale and on display anytime soon.
It's still a pretty new device, and I've only seen it available from the iRex's official reseller Libresco (
http://www.iliadreader.co.uk/products.htm) in the UK.
You could try contacting them to see whether it would be possible to see and buy one in person from them.
