E-books: Not Just for Geeks



Will e-books save the publishing industry or sink it?
Barnes & Noble recently rolled out its new e-book reader, the Nook, right, a dual-screen device priced at $259. Its most talked-about feature: It allows users to "loan" an e-book to someone else's Nook for two weeks. (The cute designer covers by Jonathan Adler and Kate Spade are cool, too.)  B&N already had an e-book store that allowed buyers to download books to iPhones, BlackBerrys, PCs and Macs.
