Aside from the recent introduction of three new Sony Reader devices, the Japanese company has strengthened its digital reading strategy with several changes and improvements to Reader Store. Aside from some upcoming changes, Sony is now stating they offer a vast catalog of over 1.2 million titles available for download in the USA.
Sony remains committed to providing an extensive offering of newspaper and magazine content for single issue purchase or subscription within the newsstand area of the store.Soon to be available titles include The Guardian, The Harvard Business Review, Newsday, Publishers Weekly, San Diego Union-Tribune and more. The store’s Library Finder application continues to provide easy access to local public libraries to borrow eBooks for free. To make choosing a book easier, the New York Times Bestsellers list will be featured alongside the Reader Store’s bestsellers. By next month, integration with Goodreads will permit the inclusion of reader reviews from that site and a new web-based architecture for the store will allow standard browser access to accounts.”
