The B&N e-book reader app will be specifically designed for the iPad, including access to the B&N eBookstore plus any content in a particular user’s existing B&N digital library.

That includes any content downloaded to the Nook, but who is going to have both a Nook and an iPad? Either way, it sounds like a good plan to get as many people to their online library as possible.

The company’s support for the iPad is also a confirmation of the Apple tablet’s value as multimedia device that includes an e-reader capabilities. Indeed, a recent ChangeWave Research survey of 3,100 U.S. consumers indicates that people would prefer a multimedia iPad over a dedicated e-reader.

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “The Apple iPad: Product Positioning, Component Supply Chain, and Impact on PC Products and E-Readers” report to their offering.

On January 27, Apple announced its new iPad product. The product fills a gap that existed between the Mac PC and iPhone/iPod Touch product lines. The iPad features a screen size of 9.7? and a thickness of only 13.4mm, and Apple has emphasized the use of IPS panel technology and LED backlight module. Furthermore, the iPad features the iBook Store, and the product’s e-reader functions will pose a threat to the existing e-reader market.
