In what seems to be a daily event these days news of yet another eReader is on the horizon. Chapters Indigo are apparently in talks with manufacturers and are working out who will make their own version of the product.
CTVs Tech Life Blog explains...
...according to the company's founder and CEO Heather Reisman who appeared on Canada AM this morning for
her annual summer reads selection... she divulged the company's plans, willing only to confirm that it won't be
the Sony Reader, already
available and supported by Sony's own online E-Book store, nor Amazons Kindle which has yet to find a launch in Canada.
Instead the retailer will launch their own service, one that will follow on the heels of their successful ShortCovers service, launched earlier this year. ShortCovers is a mobile app, currently available as a free download for the iPhone 3G, iPod Touch through Apple's Apps Store, the latest generation of BlackBerry devices through RIM's App World, and for Android-powered devices including the HTC Dream and HTC Magic which launched today, through the Android Market.
