B&N shut down their UK ebook shop and sold it to Sainsbury's, who in turn sold their ebook shop to Kobo.
I think a better analogy would be Amazon purchasing Kobo, I doubt B&N has the financial standing or business wherewithal to see what a boon it would be to purchase Kobo from Rakuten. Not that I think Rakuten would be interested in selling anyway considering they just sunk a good chunk of money into buying Overdrive and bringing it to the new Kobo ereaders.
