I was like that at first, especially since we don't have a Border's here and I couldn't understand why my mom was RAVING about the one we go to in Tucson. But after going a few times, I see the differences.
The B&N here is mostly books (not saying they have more of a selection though), with a small CD section. The plus is that B&N sells Starbucks.
The Borders we go to (Park Place Mall if anyone is familiar with Tucson) has an adequate book selection, but it has an awesome Movie/CD section, along with scrapbooking and a lot of 'gag gifts.' I bought my aunt a 'moochers fork' (a gag gift of a fork that extends 2 feet for people who love to eat off of others plates). The con is this Borders sells Seattles Best, which I don't necessarily enjoy drinking.
The only other difference, is that I can't stay in Borders for very long because the coffee smell permeates throughout the whole store and ends up giving me a headache. I haven't found that at B&N (although our B&N's lighting affects me).
