I am not sad for the demise of Borders, at all, because they were the type of place to not stock more interesting fare... like your books! The Borders at Columbus Circle never had anything but Silk, every time I went. That said, if Powell's and the Strand and Shakespeare's etc ever go under I will cry as though my dog died. Maybe harder. I'm still deeply shaken at the thought that St. Marks Bookshop might go under. It's been part of my entire life.
I imagine the coffee-table itself will become a tablet, with panels into which you can load your "coffee-table book" - with the ability to zoom into photographs of increasingly immense resolution. Something akin to the house walls in Fahrenheit 451. (At least no one will want to burn plastic... instead we'll get cloud-purges. *shudder*)
