This I can agree on. I don't know about anyone else but in Houston, B&N sometimes feel about the as a Starbucks. If you aren't in the boondocks, there is probably a Barnes and Noble around. Not saying that's a bad thing, it's convenient. If they did buy Borders they'd probably end up shutting more of those down than using them. Like you said, Win-Lose. If BN keeps on, Borders will die, it's just that they keep grasping for air and trying to live. Only reason to merge is put them out of their memory.
