But independent booksellers and other "bricks-and-mortar" retailers have been cheering, saying the ruling should remove their Internet competition's unfair advantage.
The decision could lead to similar rulings by the State Board of Equalization against Delaware-based Barnes and Noble and maybe even Washington-based Amazon.com, which handles online sales for Borders and other bricks-and-mortar affiliates, paying them a cut of the profits, said Lenny Goldberg, executive director of the California Tax Reform Association.
