Well, literary boys and girls, I’m sorry to be the book publicist to break it to you, but…well, there’s just not easy way to say this. Amazon and Borders are getting a divorce.

It wasn’t anything that you did. In fact, it wasn’t about you at all. It was just that Borders needed its own Web site. Sometimes, that happens, even when two companies loved each other once upon a time and cohabitated (or, at least, shared a Web site) for years and years (in this case, seven years).
