Fictionwise buys eReader store

Those savvy brothers Scott and Steve Pendergrast, who already run the best ebook store on the net, the venerable Fictionwise.com, have just bought the net's biggest ebook store, eReader.com -- and I'm delighted. eReader is a better format, in my view, than Mobipocket, with a much more livable DRM scheme. Very interesting times in the ebook world!

(Although I like the Amazon Kindle reading device -- which uses Mobipocket -- the best ebook experience in my view is still on a Palm OS handheld running eReader.)

The press release is online over at TeleRead.
