Ebook readers in Spain

anahid · 01-06-2009, 12:56 PM

I live in Spain and I have noticed that lately there's more and more talking about ebookreaders in the press. Apart from that one can now buy both in Pixmania and in the Mediamarkt stores, (cybook in both, and cybook and Iliad in Mediamarkt), which I think is good news. I've seen comments in different magazines a couple of times and on the television as well.

What I'm not sure of if this is just marketing strategy or if this means a growing interest for these gadgets.

For the moment I haven't seen anyone else owing one here in Spain (apart from the ones I saw in the Mediamarkt).

You don't see me, but I do (assuming you mean "owning" and not "owing"

).

Still, there's no major publisher offering ebooks in Spanish, that's the main reason why I don't recommend an ebook reader to my friends and family yet...

Hi!

There are rumours that Sony is going to lauch the reader in Spain this year. See here:

Besides, in www.mobipocket.com there are a few new recent titles in spanish (García Márquez, Eduardo Mendoza, Rosa Montero...). They are only a few, but it's a start.

Spanish people with eBook readers?... hell they are everywhere! Tons of them…

Sorry for the joke. You will find lots of Spanish users around here and some shops in Spain are still some early sellers of the devices: take per example the Apollo XXI online shop (http://www.apoloxxi.com).

Best regards,
