Electronic Readers, the Nook Enters the Market

One of the most extensively anticipated electronic readers, Nook was unveiled by Barnes and Noble. The Nook has received mostly positive reviews from within the publishing community and has presented details about the lending capabilities.

More than anything really the publishers seemed rather relieved that Barnes and Noble, the nation’s largest bookstore chain, has finally produced a plausible alternative to the kindle of Amazon. The Nook is available for only $259 through Nook.com  which is a price that has matched the latest kindle version. There are many accessories that you can purchase as well as an extended warranty protection plan for only $69.95.

Right now Amazon is dominating the electronic reader market. The estimates will vary but according to a consultant to the publishing industry, the Codex Group, 525,000 units of the Sony Reader and 945,000 units of the kindle have been sold.
