Feature probably didn't make it into version 1.0 of the app. Apple provides an API for in-app purchasing.]]>May 27th 2010 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/May 27th 2010 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/May 27th 2010 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/
Ditto, but if you already have an account with Barnes and Noble (and I suspect most people who buy the app do), then they should already have credit card processing built into their server backend and they can avoid the 30% cut Apple gets.

That cut is only for companies who paying for CC processing fees would be unfeasible due to the small scale nature of most purchases. You wouldn't get that much back anyway.]]>May 27th 2010 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/May 27th 2010 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/May 27th 2010 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/

Lets say the average eBook buyer buys 4 eBooks a year. Would you rather have all the people with Nook's buy 4 eBooks from you in one year, or all the eBook buyers with an iPhone, Android, Mac, PC, Nook or iPad?

Plus, they want to get you locked into their system. If Amazon is offering reading on all these devices, and B&N only offered reading on their Nook they would get left behind like Macaulay Culkin.]]>May 27th 2010 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/May 27th 2010 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/

The advantages of digital readers are so numerous that I prefer them to the paper books I so used to treasure. The only reason I would still by a paper book is as a signed collector's item.]]>May 27th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/May 27th 2010 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/May 27th 2010 3:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/May 27th 2010 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/
Since I have a nook and not a Kindle, I won't have the Kindle app on my iPad. I almost certainly wouldn't have the iBooks app on mine. B&N has released an iPad specific app for the iPad owners who are in their ecosystem. So, when I get my iPad, the number of reader apps it will have is, well, just the one.]]>May 27th 2010 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/
they dont need that info. they get a huge fail here]]>May 27th 2010 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/
THE ONLY PROBLEM with B&N is their digital books are costed at highway robbery prices. The physical books are cheaper than their digital counterparts in some cases.]]>May 27th 2010 5:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/
There's also the issue of the books being temporarily stored on your device when you download it. I don't know how many times I've had to re-download books from B&N because they don't allow you to store locally/move it onto SD card.

When I use my HD2 e-reader, it lets me store my books anywhere I want and resets and whatnot won't delete my books.]]>May 27th 2010 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/May 27th 2010 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/
Until they create a way to sync your place across all these devices, it's not very useful for me. I'll get excited when they announce that and I'll cease to be jaded when they announce yet another device-specific app where I'll need to hunt for my place in my book.]]>May 27th 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/barnes-and-noble-launches-ereader-for-ipad-app-we-go-hands-on/May 27th 2010 12:23PM
