E - readers - battle hots up

We are following the e-reader debate very closely. We are big fans as we see the e-reader as heralding a life saving revolution in publishing.


We are pleased to see a number of newspapers participating in Amazon's Kindle. We still believe that the economics stack up to give free readers with subscriptions although to our knowledge no-one has gone for that radical model as yet.


Clearly, there are issues holding back adoption. To become mass market prices will need to fall. E-readers are too expensive and so are the books - today, but inevitably that will change


Here is a short Reuters video on the latest device to hit the shops from Barnes & Noble and look out for Plastic Logic's Que reader with launches in January 2010.
