KDDI/Sony eBook Venture May Enter Tablet Market

Yesterday Apple reported that it had sold 4.19 million iPads last quarter, and now it seems that Sony wants to get in on the tablet action.

Bloomberg reports: “KDDI Corp’s e-book venture with Sony Corp., Asahi Shimbun Publishing Co. and Toppan Printing Co. is in talks with hardware makers to expand its lineup of reader devices to compete with Apple Inc.’s iPad.”

This venture has plans to release digital content such as comic books and magazines, which are well suited for consumption on tablet devices.
