Borders Sees Hope in eBooks on Heels of Loss

The Borders Group reported an 11.4% decline in store sales in the domestic segment in the first quarter of 2010 versus Q109.

The Wall Street Journal has the story here. An exerpt from WSJ: “Traffic in stores and average tickets fell during the quarter, contributing to declining sales that were also hurt by the company’s moves to narrow its music and movie selections. Borders has suffered mightily from dwindling sales as consumer spending slid in the recession and as more readers take to digital copies of books.”
