Yesterday, Sony launched its German Reader Store, offering a catalogue of several hundred thousand titles, including German bestsellers and international e-books in ePUB format. The company noted that "many thousand titles are DRM free or watermarked, if publishers support this strategy," and mentioned as an example publisher Bastei Lübbe, whose authors include Ken Follett, Andreas Eschbach and Dan Brown.
"We're happy to launch Reader Store Germany. We aim to satisfy the reading needs of our customers by offering the books they want to read," said Tad Kitsukawa, managing director, Sony Digital Reading Services.
