World's Largest E-BOOK Store to be Opened by Barnes & Noble

Barnes & Noble is challenging Amazon's Kindle.

Barnes & Noble said that it will offer more than 700,000 titles, including more than 500,000 public domain books from Google Inc., and that it expects to be able to offer more than one million titles within a year.

Under the plan, Barnes & Noble also struck a strategic partnership with Plastic Logic, maker of the Plastic Logic eReader device due in early 2010.

Book formats supported by the new Barnes & Noble e-bookstore include those that can be viewed on Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPod Touch, BlackBerry smartphones and most Windows and Mac computers.
