AT&T will begin selling the Amazon Kindle 3G through its stores starting March 6, marking the first time the carrier has stocked an eReader.
The Kindle 3G at $189 uses AT&T’s wireless service to download books but there are no monthly fees to the end user.
Amazon has already extended Kindle distribution into larger retail chains such as Best Buy, Target and Staples.
About 6 million Kindles have sold since the eReader launched in 2007, says Forrester.
