they could donate the books to local libraries or to the local YWCA. In my town the YWCA holds a used books sale at the mall to benefit the Literacy Foundation! What Borders is doing is such a waste!

This isn’t a new thing. It might suck, but almost all bookstores have to do this. It’s kind of pro-forma, unfortunately. It would be nice to donate the books, but legally, they can’t. Or something similar to that. It’s been too long, but I know it had something to do with copyrights and $$ being exchanged. What needs to happen is the laws regarding this need to change, which will take the authors getting behind that change. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that, unfortunately, because like I said, it has to do with $$.
