I didn't intend to insinuate that Borders in particular try to sell me crap, just that plenty of stores do. The fishing section in any Wal-Mart or Target is a perfect example.

I should note, though, that the eReader devices that Borders has on display in their stores are particularly junky. I spent a little time playing around with them, and they were completely unusable for me. I don't find my Kindle particularly intuitive to use (at least until I have a book loaded up), but the devices that I played with in Borders were terrible.
