Recently <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2009\/12\/16\/borders-and-kobo-buy-e-book-once-read-it-on-practically-anything\/\">Kobo signed a deal with Borders<\/a> to handle e-books for the chain, along with producing a reader for them. The folks at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kobobooks.com\/\">Kobo<\/a> aren&#8217;t content to rest on the Borders deal, as information we&#8217;ve just received from them proves. Kobo has reader applications in development for &#8220;netbooks and  dedicated eReaders, like the Sony eReader.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kobo already has reader apps for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and the Palm Pre, and when they add support for both Windows 7 and Android tablets they will have just about everything covered.<\/p>\n<p>Kobo realizes that the key to e-book adoption is to allow reading content on devices the consumer already owns. These free reader applications will be available starting in February, and in addition to handling e-book reading duties, they will allow syncing of libraries and reading locations among multiple devices. They are obviously taking a cue from Amazon and the Whispernet syncing.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?w=780\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=Vzytr6dPnHg:k476eqqbAGo:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=Vzytr6dPnHg:k476eqqbAGo:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=Vzytr6dPnHg:k476eqqbAGo:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=Vzytr6dPnHg:k476eqqbAGo:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=Vzytr6dPnHg:k476eqqbAGo:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=Vzytr6dPnHg:k476eqqbAGo:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=Vzytr6dPnHg:k476eqqbAGo:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=Vzytr6dPnHg:k476eqqbAGo:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/jkOnTheRun\/~4\/Vzytr6dPnHg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The e-book seller that began life as Shortcovers is getting ready to explode on the e-book reading scene.
