I just read in Publishers Weekly that new Borders CEO Ron Marshall will get $1 million base salary plus signing bonus for the first of his three year contract. Then, for the next two years he only gets $750,000. Gee, I'm definitely on the wrong end of publishing.

I bought POE at Borders.

But, in this age of Amazon, I continue to wonder how or why any bookstore thinks they're going to sell most of their books, etc. at fool retail price.

Please note that I didn't suggest that they publish YBFH :)

I don't think Borders publishes books do they? B&N has been doing so for a long time.
Amazon has started (or will be) charging sales tax, at least in NYS.

Borders, like B&N, has a paperback line of classics. Essentially, public domain works that they offer at a relatively low price.

But nothing mean intended on my part. I know cats always land on their feet!

Yes, Amazon has been charging NYS sales tax for several months now.
