I've never been a big fan of Borders. Their decisions on where to put books has always been, mmm, whimsical at best.
For example, the last time I was there I was looking for books for a trip to South America to read (there aren't a lot of international authors in e-book format yet, at least with things I haven't already read). I looked for Vargas Llosa, a favorite. In 'books in translation' there was one of his books filed under 'v'. In fiction there was one filed under 'l' (also translated to English). Perez Reverte had one in fiction, one in mystery. Both were, I think, from the same series (the 1st being Purity of the Blood, but I can't recall the main character's name). They are definitely NOT mysteries and are more similar to Three Musketeers/swashbuckler tales.
Since I have such trouble figuring out how to find what I want in their stores if I'm browsing in a physical store it is much more likely to be Barnes & Noble or a local independent.
