E-books could be a great business-technology so far. Google wants to give publishers a way to sell online digital books through a partner program by the end of 2009.That means a user could use any smartphone to download e-books.
Amazon Inc.'s Kindle and the Sony Reader say smartphone screens are too small for prolonged reading. Amazon launched its large-screen Kindle DX e-reader on June 10, earlier than it had originally planned. Unfortunately, Sony Reader doesn't work wirelessly and aske users to access topics first onto a PC and then connect the Reader to the PC via a LAN and the Kindle is not designed to work with this new Google process. The Kindle store has 310,000 e-books for sale. But 2010 will see a "huge surge in e-book sales".
