Competition is growing in the eBook reader market. There have been plenty 
of electronic book devices in the past, but in the past year or so the 
Amazon Kindle has grown in popularity and built some credibility for the 
struggling market. Now, Amazon claims that Kindle eBooks account for more 
than 30 percent of the company's overall book sales for books that are 
available in the Kindle format, and Sony is jumping in again with two 
devices to compete with the Kindle.

For businesses, the Kindle and the Sony eBook readers can be great tools 
to enable users to carry and read documents. The current generation of 
eBook reader devices are a significant step toward the Utopian vision of a 
paperless office. Like consumers though, businesses will be reluctant to 
invest in proprietary technologies that back them into one corner or 
another regarding eBook formats.

Ultimately, the success or failure of the eBook and eBook reader market is 
going to depend on establishing a standard format.
