The Digital Reader

The Australian is reporting:

Redgroup chief David Fenlon said the company aimed to launch the Kobo e-book service late next month via its Borders online retailing division, once a sufficient library of titles was available.

…

Prices for e-books would be priced “competitively”, but Mr Fenlon declined to say how the price would compare with paper editions.

While the Kobo service will be compatible with existing mobile devices such as Blackberrys, iPhones or laptops, Redgroup will also sell simple electronic readers starting at about $200.
