I BLAME THE KINDLE: Borders Says It Will Shut Down All of Its Stores for Good. “The company said in a statement Monday that it was unable to find a buyer willing to keep the company in operation and will sell itself to a group of liquidators led by Hilco Merchant Resources. Borders’ roughly 400 remaining stores will close, and nearly 11,000 jobs will be lost, according to the company.” That’s about 2/3 as many jobs as the whole country created last month.
