'Analysts say the deal could bolster Barnes & Nobles' bottom line at a price tag, including debt, of well over $1 billion.' Yahoo has an enterprise value for Borders a little over $900M so that isn't a huge premium over current price.. 'There's likely to be less opposition from independent bookstore owners to a Borders deal. Ingram was in essence a common supplier, not a competitor, to both Barnes & Noble and independent booksellers. Borders is just another big chain.' Interesting..My first thought was the FTC would never allow this.
