IMO, the biggest blunder Borders made was relying too heavily on partnerships and not focusing on themselves. They relied on Amazon for years for a website, and when that deal ended, they stumbled. Then, when digital reads started getting big, they didn't start developing their own, they relied on Kobo to hook up to Border and then sold those and Sonys. Unfortunately, they probably didn't have the capital for any R&D thanks to their long chain of mismatched CEOs who started the fall. It's such a shame.

In new nook news, I officially have no clue whatsoever it'll be. I will only officially know when we open the FedEx packages on May 24 with all the new signage. I rely on the tech blogs to keep me informed. :P
