Sony Reader to be introduced in Holland in 2009 - Page 3

Still, even if the Publishers are using Mobipocket now, at least it means that the books have been Digitised, and so could more easily be converted and offered in other formats.

Successfully launching will require getting the bigger publishers onto the eBook wagon, and from past experience suggest they'll be the most resistant as they have the most invested in the current system.

Interesting development all the same.
Has anybody any idea how many dutch mr members are around?
I live in amsterdam and the only reader I've seen so far is my own.
And the Iliad in the showroom,

way too expensive and not half as cute as my Sony.

as you can see you're not the only dutch one. and i live in the same city

Not really making a big impression in Holland this new-fangled invention.

Hello grimo1re and julia
It looks like there's no reason to start a Dutch thread yet.
