September, Barnes & Noble Digital premiered its first
epublishing venture with the release of The Book of Counted

such a diverse and superb group of authors,'' said Michael
Fragnito, publisher of Barnes & Noble Digital. ``The power of
the Barnes & Noble reach, both in the stores and via the
Internet, offers our writers the best opportunity to connect
with the broadest possible readership. ebooks have the potential
