Quite a few different ebook news stories today, mostly device related.

iBooks 1.1 for any iOS 3.2/4.0 device is out today. Now syncs bookmarks and notes between devices, and is the first version usable on an iPhone/iPod Touch. It also adds PDF compatibility, but annoyingly, it works like the rest of iTunes media only allowing syncing from one computer. I'll be keeping GoodReader around to be able to drag and drop PDF files to the iPad at work, while keeping my sync computer my home machine.

The Barnes and Noble Nook dropped to $199 for the 3G version, and a new WiFi only version is out for $149. Also an update to 1.4 is available today.

And Amazon decided to join in on the price slashing, dropping the Kindle with 3G to $189.
