There's good news for Amazon Kindle e-reader devices in Japan.
PCWorld.com reports:
Amazon.com's Kindle e-reader has dominated the competition in Japan since its launch last year, according to new research, showing the company's low pricing and powerful brand may have overcome its late entrance into the market.
The Kindle accounted for 38.3 percent of the e-reader market in Japan in the 12-month period through March, market data firm MM Research said. That compared to a 33 percent share for Rakuten's Kobo and a 25.5 percent share for Sony's Reader device.
The Kindle was officially launched in November of last year, meaning the figures represent only its first five months of sales.
The ebook edition of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan is available in the Japanese ebook market. When Amazon launched its Kindle Store in Japan last year, the guide was immediately included in the store's offerings. This was reported here last October. Ebook sales of the travel guide to kaiju locations and landmarks has been sporadic, but that's to be expected as the ebook is in English, not in Japanese.
This is good news as the Kindle e-reader is compatible with the ebook edition of the travel guide.
