The world's largest bookseller, Banes & Noble, yesterday announced that its Board of Directors intends to evaluate strategic alternatives, including a possible sale of the company, in order to increase stockholder value.  The business was suffering in the high-stakes battle for a leading role in the digital books market.

 

The shares of the company jump by 25% in the pre-market session of trade with good volumes.  The market clearly is expecting a better valuation for sale then the current market price. In regular composite trading, the stock had dropped 33 percent this year.

 

The pressure on Barnes & Noble to realign its strategy became clearer in June, when it reported a larger loss as it spent money to develop its Nook electronic reader, which is outgunned in the market by Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iPad. Sales at its book stores open at least a year had fallen 3.1 percent during its most recent quarter and the company gave a low sales outlook for this year.
