Borders at the borders??

I read an article on Yahoo about possible stores that will vanish in 2011. Borders will be one of them. If they close shop in the US, it probably mean all oversea stores will be closed too. Just like Tower Records then, one of the large CD store that closed in the US and the local store closed too. As for Borders, in this age of computers where people get to read from the web, books, in the long run may end up like Audio CDs. I hardly read much. In my younger days I do read a lot of those fantasy books but probably during those time there is no computer games good enough to tie you to the screen. And even the non gamers have nothing to do much on the computer, during those time is just a black screen where you type in commands. The DOS years, computing at those times are boring. So reading would be another entertainment. But now it seems less people are reading, or at least buying new books. There are 2nd hand books store that have used books there in good conditions. It is still sad to see Borders go if there ever happens. They have a large collection of good books, as compare to local bookstores like Times and MPH, these store sell the same stuffs and the stores are smaller and the environment kind of repelling.
