ignoble borders

Chanced to visit Borders on Ponce last Saturday and I was appalled to see the transformation. The store has been rearranged and remodelled to uncannily resemble a Barnes and Noble. The horror, the horror! A set of large dark bargain shelves at the entrance replace all the little bargain carts scattered about the place. The new scan-and-listen system (another B&N nugget) is admittedly nice (allowing me to sample Sixty Six to Timbuktu), but I found nothing that interested me anymore. Pity. Wish they'd just knock prices down, so I don't have to keep trolling used stores and portals.
