Contrary to announcements, there don't seem to be any readers, Sony or otherwise, being sold here in Japan. Perhaps there are some in the Tokyo area, but not in the rest of the county. Fujitsu 'was supposed to' sell here, and Sony 'talked about' selling here, but to date, we can not locate a single real source of e-book readers being sold here, only on-line mentions of it.
I think the problem is that 7 out of 10 Japanese people already have their eyes glued to their mobile phones. I never see Manga being read on the trains any more, and only the younger kids are using Game Boys. Everyone else is very busy reading their mobile phone!
