A few months ago Kobo announced that it would be launching ebookstores with local content in several European countries. Today the company announced the launch of the first in Germany.
At launch the store has 80,000 German-language ebooks. With the additional ebooks available in English and other languages plus the usual public domain titles the store contains a total of 2.4 million ebooks according to Kobo.
The Kobo eReader Touch Edition will be coming in a German version in August. Kobo has also released German-language versions of its free ereading apps for iOS and Android (available here), with a PlayBook version in the works. The Kobo Reading Life social ereading platform will be released in German as well.
Kobo’s German store (www.kobobooks.de) will soon be followed by country-specific stores for Spain, France, Italy and Netherlands.
