    I buy from them all the time. But if they ceased to exist I would celebrate. They're evil.

This captures my sentiment exactly. It's almost impossible not to buy from them right now. It's too cheap, too convenient, and the products are too ubiquitous to avoid. A large Barnes and Noble just closed in a highly prosperous, highly foot trafficked part of the Detroit area the other day. Not that BN is any model company, but when they can't even compete anymore, especially in the absence of Borders, you know that retail is fucked...FUCKED. Not just book retail; all retail.
