Barnes & Noble on Monday confirmed that its Nook e-reader will be available at Best Buy starting April 18. Best Buy will also feature Barnes & Noble’s e-reader software on select laptops and desktops, netbooks, tablets, and smartphones.
The Nook will retail for $259.99 at Best Buy stores and online at bestbuy.com. The e-reader, which was introduced in October and started selling in February, will continue to be sold at Barnes & Noble stores and on the book seller’s Web site, as well.
Barnes & Noble said Best Buy will also sell Nook accessories. The Best Buy Web site currently lists an AC adapter and USB cable kit for $14.99 and a battery for $29.99.
“To date, we’ve limited Nook distribution to Barnes & Noble retail and online stores and the customer response to our e-book reader has exceeded our expectations,” Kevin Frain, executive vice president of e-commerce at Barnes & Noble, said in a statement. “We have enormous respect for the Best Buy organization, [and] through this partnership, Best Buy customers will now have new and easy ways to access our expansive digital library on a variety of computing and mobile devices.”
