Borders releases ebook app for iPad/iPhone
A Borders app is now in App Store here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/borde...368067444?mt=8
I think this puts every major bookseller in the U.S. in the App Store, right? It's good to have choices! ![]() |

I wonder if this means the launch of their website store is imminent. I just checked and it still says coming soon right now.

I might have been on the Mac side a little too long but I don't consider them major players in the U.S. I had Borders in mind along with Amazon and Barnes & Noble for both physical and ebooks, plus Apple (iBooks), Fictionwise/eReader (Stanza and eReader apps), and Kobo in mind for ebooks only. Sony lets their ebooks play nice with only their reader and nothing else IIRC, while all of the above don't limit theirs to a device from a single company.

Txtr for the iPhone can read Sony books with DRM, according to one of our members in the Apple Discussion area...but Sony itself has not released an app...yet.

Books downloaded from the iBooks store can't be read on any other device other than an iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch nor can they be liberated, AFAIK.

My wife's iPad will now have more book readers than ebooks.
