The Kindle, the Nook, and now an iPad (maybe).

Over at the LA Times Jacket Copy blog there’s a post about Apple Tablet rumors heating up. This comes hot on the heels of PC World’s review of Barnes & Noble’s Nook e-reader which it calls, a formidable Kindle competitor.

With a slew of iTablet rumors swirling for the better part of 2009, this one caught my attention because it’s on a book blog and not the usual nerd-blogs you’d expect to find it.

Frankly, I had no idea the Apple tablet/pad thing was being dubbed an e-reader. Interesting, very interesting. Do you think an Apple iPad/iTablet/e-reader could do to downloadable books what the iPod did to downloadable music?

And more importantly, as developers and designers are we ready for this?
