Barnes & Noble to Start Selling Nook in U.K.

Book2Book Monday 20 Aug 2012

Barnes & Noble is to take on Amazon in the European digital book market by launching its Nook e-reader in the UK this autumn. The move marks Barnes & Noble's first expansion outside the United States, and follows a $605m (£385m) cash injection by Microsoft in April as the software company acted to capitalise on the digital publishing boom.
A nook.co.uk shop front will open in mid-October, selling e-readers and a catalogue of digital books, magazines, newspapers, films and computer games. The company says it will soon announce partnerships with "leading UK retailers" to sell both devices and content from its range of 2.5m digital titles.
