Re: "it's incongruous to me that these places are so disorganized and haphazardly restocked that I can be standing in the computing aisles at Borders, B&N or Bookstar, andit's still faster to crank up the cell-phone-networked laptop and find and order the darn book from Amazon. None of these stores have in-store customer-browsable inventory for heaven's sake!" Unless there is some cooperative plan to lead the consumer towards internet buying like so many cattle are prodded from one closing gate to the other opened gate on to the slaughter. Hey! it's possible? Isn't that what's happening to the pay phones (higher prices bad service etc) to lead us to purchase cellular phones? TTOSBT
