Default Barnes and Noble to Discontinue E-Book Sales

I received a notice from Barnes and Noble today indicating that they are discontinuing sales of e-books, leaving Amazon as the only mainstream outlet for e-books. B&N, however, said that they would allow purchasers to download previously purchased e-books from their site for the next 90 days.

Not a good development for e-book lovers like me. :cry:

Have you tried Palm Reader? I think it's much better myself.

I would but right now, I have so many applications loaded onto my iPAQ that I don't have room to add anything else. I suppose I could load it onto a storage card and run it from there.

Yup. Ed is working on a front-page rant about it now. ;-)
