Sony Corp recently announced that it plans on entering the e-book market in Japan as soon as possible, by opening an online bookstore with 20,000 titles. Most of them will be Japanese and this service will kick off in time for the Christmas season, according to Reuters. There’s also a gadget associated with this e-book store, an e-reader with a 5 inch display.
The product will retail starting December 10, for $240 and it’ll also be available in a 6 inch version. Sony wants to sell 300,000 readers in the first year and reach a 50% market share locally by 2012. Back in 2007 Sony and Panasonic retired from the e-reader biz, because of the lack of book titles and now Sony is back to make a better impression.
Among the rivals of the new device we must mention the iPad and Sharp’s Galapagos units. For now, there’s no Kindle in Japan, but that would kind of kill Sony’s newcomer…

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
