Listen up Sony Reader owners: you've got three days to change your ways. On December 11th, the eBook Store from Sony will be renamed the Reader Store with a new URL to prove it. In addition to a new store layout, the change also extends the
open EPUB format to Sony's entire inventory of eBooks. In fact, any new electronic books will
only be available in EPUB which helps explain the motivation for Sony's
PRS-500 trade-in program. As such, we can say goodbye to Sony's proprietary
BBeB ("BroadBand eBook") format which goes the way of
ATRAC (outside of Japan, anyway). Sony's also making its Reader Library 3.1 software for Mac and PC available on the same day with support for the imminent
Reader Daily Edition launch and compatibility with Windows 7 and OS X Snow Leopard -- how timely.
Sony Reader Store goes 100% EPUB on Friday originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:31:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
