Being in Canada, B&N isn't really an issue, but three years ago the mega bookstore Indigo bought out the mega chain Chapters. Since then, we've seen a reduction in selection of more "obscure" books, an emphasis on bestsellers, junk selling (soap, cards, candles, etc.). Definitely not an improvement, and I can't help thinking that someone out there is making choices for me on what I should read.
So, for pbooks, I use mainly my public library. The only books I will buy are ebooks, usually from eReader, Mobipocket, or Fictionwise. But now I just heard that amazon bought Mobi. It'll be interesting to see if they start influencing the selection.
