If you haven't heard yet, chances are high that Borders will be filing for chapter 11 come Monday this week, shuttering hundreds of stores. Who's the likely winner in that event? Sources say Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Google among others.
Out of those 3 top benefactors I have to think that B&N will benefit the most, as they have brick & mortar storefronts unlike the other two and I think prior Borders customers will seek out B&N stores to fulfill their appetite for a local bookstore.
I think it's something to keep an eye on, and potential worth liquidating an asset or two to buy a ticket on the B&N express that may be heading for a big year in 2011 due to this unfortunate turn for the worse at Borders.
