Books, music, mergers, and more. Formed in 2001 by combining with Chapters, Inc., Indigo Books & Music is Canada's leading bookseller, with about 245 stores in all 10 Canadian provinces and one territory, as well as an e-commerce site. Of these, about 145 locations are small-format shops that carry the Coles, IndigoSpirit, SmithBooks, and BookCompany names. The rest are superstores that operate under the Indigo, Chapters, and World's Biggest Bookstore banners. Indigo's bookstores offer an array of books, CDs, DVDs, games, and toys. In addition, the firm operates a pair of specialty gift shops called Pistachio. Starting a new digital chapter, Indigo in late 2009 spun off its e-book and e-reader operation, Kobo.
