EPUBBING with NICOLA FURLONG

Heather Reisman, head honcho at Indigo Books & Music and Kobobooks, announced the arrival of yet another contender in the already competitive world of electronic book reading devices.

Look out Kindle, step aside Nook, run for the hills iPad and put ‘em up Sony reader ’cause there’s a new kid in town: the Kobo eReader.

Too bad about the unimaginative name; however, this new device is much cheaper at $150 CA, than its main competitors. This comes at a price as it lacks wireless capabilities.

And who said ebooks were a fad? Welcome little Kobo eReader.

Especially LOVE that you’re a Canuck.
