Went into the Borders in North Bethesda, MD today to see what they had on sale. Lots of STORE CLOSING! signs and various sections of the store were on sale from 20-40% that I saw. However, every book I thought interesting, I compared to Amazon on my iPhone. Amazon beat the Borders sale price every time, sometimes by a significant margin (up to 50% less). This was for new books! I could get things even cheaper if I bought from Amazon used. I gave up after a while and left, totally unimpressed and not wondering why they were closing now. There were a LOT of people in there though and long lines at the checkouts.
