Interesting!

From the MR Wiki:

Quote:
XMDF (Mobile Document Format) is an e-book format, developed by Sharp originally for its "Pocket Zaurus" PDA. It is an encrypted binary file compiled from an XML source. It can be used for eBooks, electronic dictionaries, and electronic comic books (manga).

It is intended for publication using Japanese language.
Sounds like something that Sony have added support for specifically for the Japanese market.
