Isn't this to be expected? without the availability of ereaders, authors and publishers really aren't going to pay much attention to ebooks. Now that Kobo have released the Touch in Japan and Amazon is expected to release soon, I would expect authors and publishers to sit up and take notice.
I also think that the availability of ebooks in Japanese is not going to be done through the translation of English books into Japanese but Japanese authors and publishers converting their own work into ebooks. Now that at least one device will properly support the language and script, we should see the selection gro and probably fairly rapidly.
