Jordon, can you reassure me please about the 'takeover' from Borders? One thing I really liked about Shortcovers was that it was the only Canadian entrant. For example Fictionwise still does not have the new Coupland, which I bought from you. I feel like Fictionwise became a lot less friendly to the non-Americans after Barnes & Noble bought them, and I am worried to lose the only Canadian entrant to the e-market. Just hearing 'Borders' and that they want to brand their own device, and they are an American giant like Amazon and B&N...it worries me. Will the day ever come when a Canadian can walk into our major bookstore chain and see/touch our own ebook reader? Will the day ever come when one can load their Chapters or Indigo gift cards onto a website and buy print books and ebooks in one transaction? Is Indigo, with this rebranding, abandoning their loyal Canadian customers? Do they even understand that in the days of ridiculous, customer-harming geographical restrictions and with Canada having such an abysmal telecom system that Nook/Amazon hesitate to come here, these might be issues?
Please tell me this is not the end of the road for Canadian ebook fans. Hearing that the name 'Indigo' has been removed and the name 'Borders' has been added has me fearing the worst...
