Software Will Be the E-Reader's Kingmaker PC Magazine
.But the screen is only one part of what it will take
to make a successful market here. I'm convinced that, as in most cases
these days, it's the software that will drive the hardware and
determine the eventual winners and losers in this market.
That's where the Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle have had such a big lead
over all their competitiors to date. The E-ink technology had been out
for a while, but it took Sony to make the device commercial, and Amazon to wirelessly link the device with its online store; and that
combination helped make this a real market.The Kindle had the initial
advantage of a much bigger store, but almost every e-reader you see has
access to an online store of some sort.
Clearly, the store is still important. Amazon is pushing its own, as
are Barnes and Noble (with the Nook) and Sony.Nearly all the
Android-based devices have access to Google Books (typically for older,
public domain titles titles), but several have content partnerships
with Barnes
