I saw that you could pre-order them, I am asking myself, how do they do it with the books, BOL.com only used the epub format, the Kobo store is using the kepub format, so I don't think that the synchronisation works when you buy the books from BOL.com.
Also Sony stopped both production and selling, so if you have problems with your Sony reader,then you have really problems,you have your warranty but when it is beyond repair you don't get your money back, Sony just pulled out the plug, a friend of mine had a defective PRS-T3 in warranty,but they (BOL) only offer him a Kobo (glo) but then he has to pay extra for it ( €45 ) so I don't know where the rest of the batch of the prs-t3 is,but Sony claims that they don't have it on stock anymore and you have to be at the retailshop that sold it to you for warranty,but not to Sony..
So what is it gonna be.. epub or kepub ??
And will it be sideloaded as an epub,or do they gonna sell the kepub format, BOL is responsible for almost 75% of the total amount of e-readers sold in The Netherlands and they sell the most epubs here, Google is number two and uses allso the epub standard.
But you need a creditcard and not all of the people in The Netherlands have them,so they are diverted to BOL.com for the epub.
So will kepub slowly die here in our country ?
Bol allso announced a new feature that will be there soon, a bookshelf.
There goal is to have as much as possible e-book sellers to participate so all of your books you buy on different shops,will have a copy of your purchase at that bookshelf.. I use 4 bookstores,so my copy's are in 4 different places,they want to combine it so you have only one place where all your copy's will be,but then you allso have the problems with the synchronisation,because Kobo only synchronises the kepubs from their own store... Lot of questions here..
