Chatham, N.J. – Fictionwise, an independent eBook retailer, announced this week that it has acquired the eReader.com eBook retail business unit of mobile content distributor Motricity.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Motricity’s eReader.com offers over 23,000 eBook titles.
Founded in 2000, Fictionwise said it has sold millions of eBooks, and plans to maintain eReader.com as an independent site while expanding the eReader eBook format to function on a wider range of handheld devices.

I like normal books.
Ebooks have entered the dominant eye a bit more lately, and with such popularity often there is some consolidation in the market. In a recent move, Fictionwise, a popular e-book library and the seller has purchased the eReader eBook Business Unit of Motricity.
