Hi, I've been looking for hints that the Rakuten buyout might lead to greater Kobo support for Japanese-language books. (I'm currently studying Japanese, and could use a good excuse to purchase my first e-reader!) I was browsing the Kobo bookstore yesterday and noticed a new (to them) free title. I wonder if this is a sign of future developments?
It isn't well integrated into the website (can't easily search for it) but you can see it at
祖父の従軍日記. It's just a small item, with left-to-right text, but I'm hoping it's meaningful.
