Hello! I am new from Japan.
User of iLiad Book Edition.
I think Japanese circumstance are follows:
1. Book publisher is not interested to e-reader because of SONY LIBRIe and Panasonic Sigma-Book, Words-Gear was end up as failure business. Actually there are no Japanese contents for current active e-paper device.
2. Newspaper companies are interested to e-reader because of iLiad are used for Newspaper's real business such as LesEchos, Orange, SFR, NRC.
3. Two Newspaper companies were demonstrated e-paper news on the iLiad, October 2007 and June/July 2008.

I'd like to test Japanese characters.
