Sony seeing strong demand for touchscreen e-book reader

sony e reader
Sales of Sony's touchscreen e-book reader must have picked up recently, as the electronics giant is reporting that sales of the said device has exceeded company expectations, though they didn't disclose how many units exactly they have sold. President of Sony's digital reading unit Steve Haber mentioned in an interview with Bloomberg that ""The big shift over from analog to digital is happening in the reading space." Well, Steve, welcome to the future. Currently, Sony owns 35% share of the e-book reader market, according to Forrester Research, Inc. I won't be surprised to see them get a bigger piece of the pie as the market grows even more.
