5. A summary of the article
This article is about Borders Group Inc. declaring bankruptcy. Borders is one of the biggest bookstore companies in the US. Because of the bankruptcy it will close 30% of its stores. Borders has 508 superstores. In Chicago, half of its stores will be closed. Borders has 30 stores in the Chicago area.
6. Your opinion about the article
I think this is very sad. I live four blocks away from a Borders store. I sometimes go there to look at magazines or have a coffee. There are less and less places to look at real books now. However, I almost always buy books online from Amazon. So, I can understand Borders going bankrupt.
