Amazon vs. Borders

There is a new book called: Math Doesn't Suck; how to survive middle school math.

I have two choices; I can buy it at Borders in Saint Paul for the list price of $23.95 and use a 30% off discount coupon. If I do that, I will have to pay 7% sales tax .

Alternatively, I can buy it on line from Amazon.com for $14.37 but will have to pay $3.99 shipping but no sales tax.

Which is the best deal and how much do I save by taking it?

In Minnesota, the discount is applied first and the tax is computed on the discounted price.
