Amazon to buy AbeBooks

I just saw this today: Amazon to buy AbeBooks (From: Publishers Weekly).  This deal is to close in the 4th quarter.  AbeBooks is a wonderful Canadian-based online source for buying used and out-of-print books from all over the world.  I wonder if this change in ownership will change the wonderful usability of abebooks.com? Time will tell.  I use abebooks all the time at work for tracking down elusive out-of-print and rare books for my library.  According to the story, abebooks will “continue to operate as a stand-alone operation”.
