With Apple selling more than 1.5 million eBooks in the first 28 of the iPad’s launch, it’s no wonder Barnes & Noble has been racing to offer an eBookstore app for the iPad. The B&N app officially launched today, while Amazon, which already has a Kindle app for the iPad, announced it’s expanding its app for International use.
The BN eReader app for iPad offers more than 1 million eBooks and is the only eReading app with a LendMe feature to loan your eBooks to friends. The feature lets users email an eBook to someone in your address book for 14 days (during which the owner does not have access to the eBook).
For its part, Amazon said its Kindle App for iPad is now available in all countries where the iPad is offered. It offers over 55,000 eBooks.
