Threr are four Borders and B&N bookstores in my immediate area. While I dislike B&N for some of the books that they actually publish under their name (but for some reason are not sold in my area), Borders is always difficult to check out of. B&N works closely with the local school to set up book fairs, etc. I feel that any merger would have the consumer coming out on the down side.

B&N also supports the "zink the zebra" foundation that used to be headquartered with them locally until a shopping center rebuild had teh B&N local office shut down for a year.
