Hi Pamela: On Yahoo, EP_80 point out that borders.com has been operational for a while. Having visited both the amazon.com and borders.com Web sites, I will add the comment that Amazon's site is far superior. Borders does not have a good search engine for finding books by topics or keywords. Also, the software used by Amazon to find books that you will like based on previous purchases does an excellent job, provided you have enough of a purchase record. In general, I think that the combination of good discounts and no sales tax makes Amazon a really good place to shop for books. I am grateful to the Amazon shareholders who are subsidizing all of us, the customers. I think it is a wonderful business model where goods are sold below cost. Anyone ready to guess what will happen if Ammazon attempts to increase its prices? Best regards, Bernard Levy
