Yeah, I boycotted them for several years after they reneged
or their original policies.

Since then I've found the selection, prices, and service to
be excellent. I've not been able to detect any privacy abuses
(which is more than I can say for some large retail stores).

Barnes and Noble drove many small independent bookstores 
out of business. Just like supermarkets destoyed thousands
of small grocery stores. 

Whether or not various retail outlets survive the next few 
years will depend on the economy, employment, and what they
do to adapt their business to a changing market than it will
to Amazon.

I don't think your gesture will help but I respect the fact
that sometimes one feels one has to make it anyway.
