Borders and Sony expand Reader agreement
Borders has signed an agreement with Sony that expands their existing relationship for the sale of the Reader Digital Book, and includes a new, co-branded version of Sony's online store for e-book downloads.
Under the agreement, Borders will expand the sale of the Reader to over 500 of its stores nationwide beginning in October. Currently, the Reader is sold in approximately 270 Borders stores. Furthermore, Borders will launch a co-branded online store with support from Sony that will offer more than 20,000 digital downloads of e-books. Eventually, the co-branded e-book store will be offered as part of Borders' upcoming e-commerce site, Borders.com. Full press release: Link Related: Borders online bookstore beta |

We can imagine this confirms that the PRS-505 will be launched in October,
that wouldn't be logical to begin sell an end-of-life product, don't you think so? |

Hopefully this will also lead to e-books for the Sony reader being available outside of the US.

Wow, maybe they will actually let the Borders employees know about the product now. I found very few Borders employees that even understood the term "ebook reader."
