Barnes & Noble's Three eReaders

The tech blog JKontherun made a compelling observation: Barnes & Noble in fact sells three eReaders–the Nook and two others–through bn.com and its two other eBook stores. Remember that Barnes & Noble bought the long-established online eBook retailer Fictionwise last march. Fictionwise itself had already acquired the eReader online store, and, as Barnes & Noble promised at the time of the acquisition, it has continued to allow Fictionwise and eReader to operate as independent subsidiaries.
