With NOOKbooks en español, Barnes & Noble customers now have nearly instant access to thousands of popular Spanish language titles, including thousands of free works, to be enjoyed across a wide range of platforms, including NOOK color, NOOK 3G and NOOK Wi-Fi, and the company’s free software available for iPad™, iPhone®, iPod touch®, Android™, BlackBerry®, PC, and Mac®.
