Sony adds two new e-readers to its library – a pocket version and one that features a touch screen. Sony also plans to cut $2 off the price of its bestsellers – selling for $9.99 – and will offer access to Google’s public domain library. This means that Sony e-readers will have access to over a million books. For more information read Larry Dignan’s post. nn
