The other store bit the dust a long time ago. I think one of Borders’ problems is that it didn’t really have a strategy for dealing with the e-book (and Amazon in general) until too late. And there may be other, management-related problems that I don’t know about.

Borders has a slew of problems and a rotten business model.

Interestingly enough, Borders for a number of years teamed up with Amazon when it came to book sales. Borders should have kept that connection, and their stores would have ended up carrying the Kindle three years ago!
As such, Borders' inability to "fall back" on its mail order division and its inability to sell its own branded name of e-book readers will result in that company either being dissolved or bought out by a rival like Barnes & Noble.
