Why doesn't Japan lead the world in this market?
This message is intended for those living and working in Japan, such as fellow 'Canuck'.

When I was working in Japan in 1991 and passed through on several occasions after that also, I was amazed how cutting edge Japan was for electronics. Even in Calcutta (Dover Lane Music Festival - highly recommended) I met an Indian man with a truly digital SONY 'camcorder' the size of a golf ball. In my field as a documentary film maker (video) a lot of products were available in Japan either years before in the west or they never appeared at all. Yet due to language and other considerations (such as a weekend of hotel rooms and meals in Tokyo cost me my 'life savings'!) I just bought at B&H in New York area.

I don't see any indication that Japan (or for that matter Korea) leads the ereader market globally. Is this an accurate assessment or not? This impression could just be because I am out of date with business realties and am general am out of touch with reality at all.
