I didn't see any readers at all except for the demo. And all the prices on the display hadn't been updated for the newer, lower prices on all the accessories. Since the display was locked, I had to squint to see the actual prices behind glass. But the covers were $30, the cradles $40, and $14 for the lights. I had much better service and luck with the Sony store.

Yes, this how they sell the Reader and its accessories at the Borders where I live. In fact, I bought my first Reader from Borders.
I agree with you that these kiosks seem to be positioned away from heavy traffic, and seem too unobtrusive. One problem is that display areas don't really compete well with all the other things that are being sold at Borders.
