...it sure is depressing when consumers can't tell the difference between brand A and brand B.

The #1 reason why I don't like Barnes & Noble: I work for Borders.
The #2 reason why I don't like Barnes & Noble: See reason one.

If you want, I can explain the differences between us, why you are perceiving these differences incorrectly, from the coffee to the way we shelve books. Oh, and the reason why the 'website' as y'all think of it is amazon is because we didn't want to waste our time reinventing the wheel.

We do have a website that isn't run by amazon. You can't buy books off of it because that would be redundant. It's bordersstores.com

But no, I haven't heard of a merger, I wouldn't find a merger appealing, and I suppose I would be actively forbidden from commenting on a merger if such a thing were to occur.
