Barnes and Noble to Discontinue E-Book Sales

[piperpilot]

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.

I just switched from a palm to a 2215(sorry I didn't do it sooner) and I have alot of palm based e-books, do you know if palmreadser for ppc can read those books, or di I have to re-download or, even worse re-buy those books?

John if you bought the books are in palmreader format then yes you can read it on your PPC, and you mac, and windows computer.

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