Sony's Digital Book Downloads from the Public Library - BusinessWeek - 0 views

  • One of the neat features of the Sony Reader is that you can “borrow” electronic books from participating libraries, including ones in New York, Chicago and my public library in Seattle. So I went to digital media page on its Web site and searched for Eclipse. It turns out that six of the library’s eight copies of the book in Adobe’s eBook format, which works with Sony’s eBook devices, were available to borrow for 21 days. I typed in my library card number and PIN, clicked download, and a few seconds later, the book was on my PC. Then, I connected the Sony Reader via the USB port and the book zipped over to my device.
  • a 7-inch touch-screen version with 3G connectivity, so users can download books without having to plug the device into their PCs.
  • It’s not a closed business model
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • We want to innovate to get better and better access to content
  • Reader owners can already buy electronic books from 200 bookstores
  • don’t know how important those booksellers will be to the success of the Sony Reader. The Kindle has mindshare as well as market share. But the opportunity to instantly get a book from the library at 8 pm so my 11-year-old could have something to read before bed was pretty nifty. And it didn’t cost me a dime
