Barnes & Noble eReader App for iPad
Barnes & Noble will be making a version of its eReader app for the iPad:
Designed specifically for the iPad, our new B&N eReader will give our customers access to more than one million eBooks, magazines and newspapers in the Barnes & Noble eBookstore, as well as the existing content in their Barnes & Noble digital library. (That includes eBooks and content customers have downloaded to their nook⢠eBook reader.)
It still remains to be seen whether Apple will let ebook reading apps competing with its own onto the iPad. If Apple really wants to try to position the iPad as some sort of superior ereading device it would make sense to allow Kindle , B&N and other reading apps as this would allow access to the greatest amount of content.
