Sony e-Readers Get New York Post & Dow Jones Content

Tweet

We at TFTS really think that next year could (easily) be called the “Year of the e-book”. Just like netbooks, it looks like every electronics company out there, be it small startups or established giants, want to market an e-reader device. And although some are already in the market and selling like hot cakes — Amazon Kindle, Sony reader or the Barnes & Noble Nook, there are even more waiting in line to make it for next year.

Speaking of Sony, the company is doing everything possible for a bigger slice of the pie. Hence why they have announced that their Sony Reader Daily Edition — an e-reader device made exclusively for getting periodic news and content such as those from newspapers and magazines, will tie-up with the New York Post and Down Jones in an exclusive deal for content. And that means that from now, Sony will be the only one offering a digital version of the New York Post.

Along with the NYP, there are various publications by Dow Jones & Company — such as The Wall Street Journal or MarketWatch, that will be available in. On top of that the Daily Edition will also include a Sony exclusive The Wall Street Journal PLUS — a digital edition of the morning paper which will also feature an update of the day’s events after the close of the markets.

Daily newspaper subscriptions for the Sony Reader Daily Edition run between $9.99 and $19.99 per month.
