Australian retailer to sell e-books via in-store kiosks
"Digital touch screen kiosks have been installed in the Dymocks flagship store at 428 George Street in Sydney to market the ebook range and teach customers how to download them. Within months people will be able to walk into the store with a memory card and buy ebooks directly from the kiosk." - Sydney Morning Herald.
Detail: The chain (photo of store interior) also has a Web site selling E and is planning POD. Meanwhile let’s hope that Dymocks can cope successfully with the various formats—for both e-books and memory cards. On the Web site, at least, Dymocks now offers Microsoft Reader, Mobipocket and Adobe, and each book "has its own Reader software." Oh, the joys of eBabel.
