Microsoft and rival Adobe each signed major electronic book deals yesterday with Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com respectively.
Microsoft will license its Reader software - which allows users to download and read text - to Amazon in a deal similar to one it signed with barnesandnoble.com three weeks ago.
Microsoft officials say they hope to have 100,000 digital books available for sale by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, Adobe bought US-based producer of e-book software Glassbook, and immediately signed a deal with barnesandnoble.com to license the technology.
Adobe already produces its own PDF reader software, Acrobat, but it claims Glassbook software is better suited as an interface for longer documents such as novels.
