Prawl http://newmediaonthego.com/blog/?p=402 Just today there was an announcment from Barnes & Noble about a new eBook reader they will be selling, made by Plastic Logic. I’ve already downloaded B&N’s iPhone app, which sits next to Kindle for iPhone in my reading apps page. They have matching apps for Blackberry, Mac and PCs as well.eReaders But I don’t regret placing my order for the Kindle DX. Of course, it hasn’t arrived yet, but the B&N-Plastic Logic reader won’t be available until next year. So much for instant gratification.

The good news about the Barnes & Noble announcement is that they plan to make their ebooks available on many platforms. Here’s what the company president had to say about that:

“Today marks the first phase of our digital strategy, which is rooted in the belief that readers should have access to the books in their digital library from any device, from anywhere, at any time,” said William J. Lynch, President of BN.com.
