New Borders Stores Embrace Digital Music

Bookseller Borders Group Inc unveiled a new concept this week -- a store where shoppers can mix and burn CDs, explore their genealogies and even publish their own novels. The new stores feature a digital center where shoppers can download music, or search ancestral records through "Borders Genealogy Services," which are provided through a partnership with Ancestry.com. The nation's No. 2 bookseller plans to open 14 of these stores this year. (Billboard, USA Today)
