Vodaphone Germany to go into ebook business

According to boersenblatt.net the German mobile phone company, Vodaphone, will be introducing an “open platform” ereader at Cebit next March. The article says that Axel Springer has signed a letter of intent along with the Lower Media Group Madsack, which publishes the Hannoversche Allgmeine newspaper. Proceeds will be split 50/50 between the publishers and Vodaphone.
