In March 2001, Palm bought Peanutpress.com, a publisher and distributor
of digital books for PDAs, from the netLibrary company. The Peanut
Reader merged with (or became) the Palm Reader, that could be used on
Palm Pilots and Pocket PCs, and the 2,000 titles from Peanutpress.com
were transferred to the digital bookstore Palm Digital Media. In July
2002, the Palm Reader was also available for computers. Palm Digital
Media distributed 5,500 ebooks in several languages in July 2002, and
10,000 ebooks in 2003.
