Ebooks are not Forever
Barnes & Noble.com Stops E-Book Download in 90 days/Dec9
Barnes & Noble.com, once an aggressive competitor in the electronic market, stopped selling E-books Tuesday, citing both limited sales and limited technology.
"We did not see sales take off as we and many others had anticipated," Daniel Blackman, vice president and general manager of Barnes & Noble.com, said Tuesday. "The other factor is that consumers haven't embraced the technology. There isn't widespread adoption of an affordable and an easy-to-use E-book device."
In an E-mail sent to customers, Barnes & Noble.com said that those who purchased an E-book in the Adobe format have 90 days from the date of purchase to complete their download. People using Microsoft have until Dec. 9 to access their E-books.
"In the short term, it's disappointing," said Arthur Klebanoff, founder of RosettaBooks, which sells digital versions of works by Pat Conroy, William Styron, and others.
