Barnes & Noble has added of free ebooks to its Nook store. This is presumably a move to help the store compete with Apple’s iBooks store and Amazon’s Kindle which has lots of free books as well. The books they’re adding are all public domain works from Project Gutenberg like Treasure Island, Little Women, and others. They’ll be adding them as collections with 10 every week. Unfortunately, it pales in comparison to iBooks and Kindle which both have thousands of free books available, but at least it’s a start.
