Japanese Vending Machine Dispenses eBooks
Japan really does seem to have a vending machine for everything. Toys, umbrellas, flowers and neckties can all be purchased in vending machines in Japan. And now you may even be able to buy eBooks in a vending machine one day.
Glory, a company that makes vending machines and ATMs, reportedly debuted an eBook distributing vending machine prototype at the Tokyo Book Fair.
