China: Shanghai Daily is reporting that Hanwang Technology Co. plants to open 60 customer “experience stores” to display and promote ereader products and online bookstore services. They opened their flagship store in Shanghai this weekend.
India: Ereaders must be picking up because the Business Standard, datelined Mumbai, is reviewing two ereaders this week. One is from an online retailer Infibeam and is called the PI. Looks like a pretty typical e-ink unit and will retail for Rs 9,999. The other is the Sony Reader PRS-505, which is retailing for Rs 18,500.
Thanks to Resource Shelf for the heads up.
