This week Barnes and Noble launched its new ebook store which is said to contain 700,000 titles. This number includes approximately 500,000 free public domain titles available through Google Books.  Next year Plastic Logic’s ebook reader will hit the market and Barnes & Noble will be supporting it with their ebookstore.

By using Barnes & Noble’s reader software the ebooks are currently readable on Mac and Windows computers, iPhones and iPod Touches and several PDA phones.

There is a thoughtful article about Barnes & Noble’s new ebook service in the Washington Post, where it gets a mixed review; and some also interesting follow-up thoughts at TeleRead concerning DRM.
