A brief history of Gen I e-book readers
Glass e-Books were co-developed by Philips, Sony and E-Ink in 2003. The SONY e-book reader launched at the time wasn't particularly successful due to limited content and distribution. In 2005, Philips licensed manufacturing of glass e-books to PVI. Since then, PVI's electronic paper display has been used in 7 e-book readers that are currently commercially available. Recently the e-book business has taken off as plentiful content and easy distribution have become available. For instance, in America the Amazon Kindle has access to 88,000+ titles which can be downloaded via mobile phone networks (typically, in less than 60 seconds per book).
