7 января 2010 года Borders и Spring Design объявили о заключении соглашения по которому Borders Group становится официальным "поставщиком" электронной литературы для ридера Alex, выход которого ожидается в феврале. Подобное родство интернет-портала электронной литературы и устройства, по мнению компаний, позволит конкурировать с такими устройствами как Nook от Barnes & Noble, так и Kindle от Amazon.
Главный исполнительный директор Spring Design считает, что такое сотрудничество позволит качествено сочетать опыт, разработки и инновации двух компаний для успешного продвижения на рынке электронных книг.
