While the Sony ereaders have done well in the US and elsewhere, they have never been big in Japan. Sony sold its LIBRIe ereader in Japan from 2004 to 2007, but until now has not been selling the Reader line of ereaders in its home country.
On Dec 10, Sony will reintroduce its ereaders to the Japanese market. The 5-inch Pocket Edition is expected to sell for ¥ 20,000 ($240) and the 6-inch Touch Edition will sell for ¥ 25,000 ($299).
Sony formed partnerships with some of Japan’s largest publishers earlier this year in an effort to make more content available to digital readers in Japan. At launch, the Japanese version of the Reader Store is expected to offer about 20,000 titles.
