I wish it was the other way around, B&N seems to run a better store than Borders.
I'd have thought Borders a little better. What metropolitan area are you in? I'm in Washington, DC, so comparing B&N in Bethesda and downtown with Borders on L St. or occasionally Silver Spring or White Flint.
I mostly travel in ND, SD, and MN. B&N has better prices, better selection, and a much better membership. Also, their stores seem much nicer and they have longer hours.
