Hidden in the news this week that Borders has confirmed it won’t enter the eBook fray with it’s own electronic reader, we did pick up a very interesting tidbit…
Borders is partnering with the new Kobo e-book service, and intends to make its book collection and content available to as many e-readers as it can. Kobo is set to launch in March, and Borders owns a 20 percent stake in the venture. Kobo would include a library of approximately two million purchasable books, 1.8 million free books, and subscriptions for newspapers and magazine. Kobo will be compatible with the Nook, Sony Readers, iPhones, Android devices and BlackBerrys, but no information has been given regarding compatability with the Kindle.
We think it’s just a matter of time before ALL ereaders become more compatible with technology, and eBooks from ANY source will work with ANY reader…consumer demand will force this change.
