Um, I don't really see the difference between Border's and B&N. They're both equidistant from where I live, so I go to which ever one is more accessible due to traffic at the time. Maybe I just don't spend time in them enough... they're both more than adequate for my needs, though. |
There are maybe two B&N's in DC proper and neither of them are convenient to enough things I like to go to. The last time I went to B&N was because somebody gave me a gift card for my birthday like three years ago.
My point was that my B&N's don't have music and DVDs, only books. I usually go for all three.

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).

I hate the smell of coffee period, and I can tell you that the three different Borders I go to in/around DC don't have a noticeable coffee smell at all (other than the smell of books). I love their gifts and non-book items, too.
