Barnes and Noble launches eBook store with Kindle killer

From TG Daily -

Barnes & Noble has launched what it claims to be the world's largest eBook store with over 700,000 titles. In addition, it has obtained the exclusive rights to distribute Plastic Logic’s reader, considered by some to be the biggest threat to Amazon's Kindle. The company plans to have over 1 million titles available by next year and these will be "inclusive of every available eBook from every book publisher and every available eBook original." The current stock covers more than a half-million public domain books which can be downloaded for free.

The eBooks will be compatible with a wide range of devices, the iPhone and iPod touch, Blackberry smartphones, as well as Windows and Mac computers.
