Barnes & Noble has finally released their ereader app for the iPad. Unlike Amazon, Barnes & Noble did not have their ereader app available when the iPad was launched so they're playing a bit of catch up. The BN ereader is sufficient, but does not include the fancy page turns that Apple and Amazon both have. It does however allow iPad users to purchase books from Barnes & Noble and even share books with friends.
