As someone who's worked in the Canadian publishing industry & seen a similar situation (Indigo buying out Chapters), it looks like a lot of the decisions Borders has made recently add up to making them look more salable. If this does happen, though, my best of luck to the U.S. publishing industry (not only because a large portion of our industry up north relies on what happens down there). Having one chain lord over the retailing of books in a country is certainly not healthy. I agree with a lot of what you’re saying here.
