It seems everyone is doing it, so why not a bookstore chain?
The Wall Street Journal reports today that Borders is targeting teens with special sections labeled &#8220;Borders Ink,&#8221; which combine teen books, graphic novels and related merchandise. Several have already opened in Borders&#8217; Michigan stores. Showing lightning speed, the chain plans to have sections up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who but a cataloger could imagine that someday a &#8220;cataloging error&#8221; would make headlines?
That&#8217;s what Amazon is claiming as the cause of nearly 60,000 titles, many of them gay and lesbian-themed, being stripped of their sales rankings, rendering them difficult to find in searches and creating a PR nightmare.
The Seattle Post Intelligencer reports official responses, as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hot book news from the weekend is that Amazon suddenly and inexplicably stripped sales rankings from  &#8221;adult&#8221; books (which includes gay-themed books, even those that wouldn&#8217;t get an R-rating, such as Ellen Degeneres&#8217;s bio). Online sites lit up in outrage, boycotts were threatened, and the tag #amazonfail became the top trending topic on Twitter.

		<description><![CDATA[After the brisk activity of the past two weeks, this week&#8217;s bestseller list is remarkably quiet, with only a handful of debuts.
Other than the Wimpy Kid at #1, you have to go to #25 before you hit a new title and it&#8217;s not really new. The hardcover was published in 2004. The 2005 paperback reprint [...]]]></description>
