BN eReader for iPad Available

eReader thumb

Barnes and Noble has finally released the eReader application for the iPad. The new reader application has functionality similar to the Kindle for iPad app, and can read e-books for the B&N Nook as well as from the eReader bookstore. It has connectivity with the user’s B&N online bookstore and purchased library, and like the Kindle app searching for new e-books fires up the Safari browser.

BN eReader does bring one cool feature from the Nook — the LendMe option. Some e-books can be lent to friends for 14 days; such books are clearly marked as indicated in the screen shot below. Lending an e-book disables it so make sure you read it before loaning it to another eReader user.
