After a successful launch in the UK, the Reader continues it’s march across Europe over the coming months. Already due to hit France and Germany later this year, Sony’s PRS-505 will now be coming to The Netherlands in 2009 according to Dutch daily De Telegraaf. The article doesn’t give a lot of detail, but the device will likely initially be sold through an exclusive deal with one of the large chains as has happened elsewhere. It will be interesting to see which chain that is as currently the largest bookseller in The Netherlands – Selexyz – which has stores such as Donner and Verwijs has an exlcusive deal to sell rival device the Iliad Irex. No news on the price, but I suspect it will be similar to that announced for other European markets (~ €299). We’ll keep you posted of any updates, but this is good news for Dutch ebook fans.
