I feel that Japanese are very traditional people who like hold books in their hands. Contrary to what foreigners might think, Japanese are very stubborn about new technologies. Not to mention the lack of ebooks available. I tried to find epubs for books I want to read (Battle Royale, Higashino Keigo, Akutagawa Ryunosuke and some light novels) and I can't find single one epub!!
This seems to be similar to the situation of digital music in Japan. I wonder if it's because of the Japanese industries' irrational fear of piracy... AFAIK Japanese aren't really that keen on pirating, but the anti-piracy effort is quite aggressive there
