After helping drive many U.S. bookstore chains out of business, Amazon has been opening its own retail stores, starting in Seattle in late 2015.

Its first Amazon Books location in New York City opens Thursday morning in Manhattan’s Shops at Columbus Circle, which was previously home to a pretty large — and now closed — Borders Books and Music.

[...] It’s mostly books here, but there’s a gadget section for things like Amazon’s Echo devices, Alexa-compatible smart home gizmos, Kindles and tablets, and a dozen AmazonBasics items, including iPhone chargers and AAA batteries.

    I dunno... is it 'SuperBob', as in Blackadder's Bob, or is it 'Bob' as in "It will put the lotion on it's penis or it will get the hose again" Bob.

    If it's Blackadder's Bob, okay.
    If not...... nuh uh!
