Barnes & Noble today unveiled Nook for Web, which will allow PC and Mac users to sample and buy Nook e-books directly from the browser.
To access a free sample, click the "Read Instantly" icon next to any book, and the selection will appear automatically. Purchase the e-book to continue reading on the PC, and pick up later on a Barnes & Noble Nook e-reader or Nook mobile app.
Barnes & Noble said Nook for Web is compatible with all PC and Mac Web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Support for Internet-enabled tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices is expected in the fall.
To promote the service, Barnes & Noble is offering six of its best-selling e-books for free until July 26. That includes Map of Bones by James Rollins, Sex and the City by Candace Bushnell, The Vow by Kim Carpenter, The Boxcar Children Summer Special by Gertrude Chandler Warner, Brave by Tennant Redbank and Perfect Island Getaways by Patricia Schultz. Users can instantly read a sample, and then download the entire book for free on any browser.
