Germany has developed an e-reader they've dubbed
Tolino Shine.
According to
Shelf Awareness:
German
bookstore chains Thalia, Weltbild and Hugendubel are partnering with
Bertelsmann and Deutsche Telekom to market a new touchscreen,
front-lit e-reader called the Tolino Shine in their 1,500 physical
stores as well as online, GigaOM reported. The device, which will be
available for sale on March 7th, costs €99 (US $128) and "is
intended to compete against Amazon's Kindle and the Kobo in
Germany." An e-bookstore featuring 300,000 German-language titles is
accessible from the Tolino Shine, which supports ePub, PDF and .txt
files.

Keeping abreast of what different nations are developing in regards to
e-books is just part of the process for me. Aside from actual writing, I
enjoy reading news about the book/publishing industry.
