Sharp To Launch eBookstore In U.S. In 2011
Sharp is gearing up for CES, which starts tomorrow, where the electronics maker plans to show off its new Galapagos tablet, a 10.8-inch Linux-based touchscreen device.
The Galapagos will come with a cloud-based bookstore service now, which is currently available in Japan. Sharp said in a press release that it would “initiate an e-media business including both tablet and content offerings in the U.S. in 2011.”
The eBookstore will sell books, games, movies and music. eBooks will be available in Sharp’s proprietary XMDF format, as well as in the ePub format.
