Panasonic to launch e-book/tablet hybrid in Japan

Panasonic to launch e-book/tablet hybrid in Japan

Thanks to Panasonic, consumers in Japan will be getting an e-book reader/tablet hybrid that has been specially designed for the Japanese market in mind. The e-book/tablet hybrid will be getting its source of e-books from Rakuten, which is a leading online shopping mall operator in Japan, who in turn will be distributing e-books from booklista Co., which is a joint venture established by Sony and Toppan Printing Co. In what appears to be a pretty neat tie-up with Rakuten's core competency, customers who purchase e-books will be given bonus points, which in return can be redeemed while shopping for items on Rakuten's marketplace.
