“We’re putting both academic and trade books into the Kindle program," said Priscilla Treadwell, of Princeton University Press. But textbooks will have to wait.
E-book genre options appear to be growing. Currently, the three most common genres read by those with the Sony Reader are “mystery, thriller and romance,” according to Reyes.
Consumers can find thousands of titles at the eBook Store from Sony, the Kindle Store from Amazon, and various other sources supported by their e-book reader. Students can even find reference books for their classes, lessening the amount of books they carry to school each day.
“There will be multiple versions of the Kindle in the future, but we have not announced specific plans or timing. Our vision for Kindle is to make every book, ever published, in any language, all available in less than 60 seconds,” Amazon's Herdener said.
The Kindle sold out within hours of its launch in November 2007, and just became available again to purchasers in April 2008. The newest model of the Sony Reader, the PRS-505, was launched in October 2007. According to Astak.com, the release dates for the Mentor model range from late August to October 2008, depending on the size of the displays.
So where is the digital book reader market heading?
“I think now it’s taking off,” Treadwell said.
