Amazon's Kindle is most popular e-reader in Japan (finally!)
Back in April 2012 I posted about my surprise at the complete lack of e-readers in public in Japan ("Wot! No e-book readers!?"). I subsequently posted that I'd spotted a few but nothing like the numbers one sees in the UK - especially when commuting on the train.
So, this news item reporting that Amazon's Kindle is the most popular e-reading device in Japan: http://nyti.ms/1cBJjQH particularly caught my eye.
Not least because relative newcomer Kobo (availble here in the UK via WH Smith bricks and mortar stores) is owned by a Japanese company (Rakuten). Whoever wins out, it's interesting to finally see dedicated e-readers catching on in Japan.
