With all the interest around e-book readers like the Amazon Kindle and its new Apple iPhone app, it's no wonder that the ubiquitous Research in Motion BlackBerry is also getting some attention, with the launch of the eReader Pro for the device.

For Fictionwise and eReader.com, the news marks the latest sign of booming interest in e-books. Last week, in an effort to better capitalize on the trend, book retail giant Barnes & Noble (NYSE: BKS) acquired Fictonwise and said it plans to use the company as part of its overall digital strategy, which includes the launch of an e-book store later this year.
