They wish.

Bookstores are in trouble across the board. Borders is largely on life support. Barnes and Noble is searching for ways to retain customer loyalty, and was rumored to be interesting in acquiring Borders, save that no one could say where they would get the money to make the acquisition. Independent bookstores are largely a dying breed unless they have a specific niche.

What are the issues facing them? Book sales flat or down, competition from discount retailers like Costco and Sam's Club, and Amazon.com.
