| Comment | 7.700 | Ben Cheng | Stuck in a very tough business environment. Being affected by online businesses or you can now get books. Also a lot of tablets, where you can get online books, will make it tough for them. They were a large owner of Kobo, which was just sold so they should net $70 million-$80 million free cash which should help them sustain the dividend. | 2011-12-20 | |
