Staples announced today that they will begin carrying the Barnes and Noble Nook Color e-Reader at all locations in the USA starting May 1st 2011.
The Barnes and Noble Nook Color is a runaway success for customers all over the world. It offers newspapers, magazines, kids books, textbooks and ebooks, in full color. Sometime in the next month the company will also be issuing a firmware update that will allow Adobe Flash to run on the web browser.
Staples will be the only superstore to carry the Nook Color, aside from Wallmart and of course the Barnes and Noble retail chain. It already carries the Amazon Kindle e-reader and is looking to cash in on the recent market success of e-readers.
It looks like Staples is doing the right thing, rather then carrying a ton of sub par e-readers it seems to be just stocking on its shelves the ones that have a proven industry track record of sales.
