There’s a good deal more to explore in the full report here.
Kindle may come to Japan as early as the end of this year, according to reports today in Japanese newspaper Nikkei Business Daily and wire service Jiji Press.
Despite the initial worry that Amazon will be selling their e-books at extremely low prices, it’s now in the final stages of negotiations with publishers like Kodansha, Shogakukan, Shueisha and Shinchosha, as reported by Nikkei Business Daily.
If all goes well, Kindle Japan would be Amazon’s third foreign-language Kindle store, after Kindle France, which opened on October 7, and Kindle Germany, which launched in April.

Amazon may be joining in the tablet war a little late in the game, but that does not certainly means it comes out in last position.
There are a number of promising things about Kindle Fire that sets it apart from other tablets. All of it has to do, of course, with the fact that it’s Amazon. If you are a member of Amazon Prime, for instance, then you immediately enjoy free and unlimited streaming of more than 10,000 of the most popular TV programs and movies.
Your browsing experience is also elevated to a whole new level with Amazon Silk, which boasts of a “split browser” made faster and more powerful thanks to the Amazon Web Services cloud. More importantly, Kindle Fire’s built-in browser can display Flash websites properly – something you cannot enjoy from even the most popular tablets (can you spell iPad?).
Some tablets require you to make the choice between 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. Kindle Fire gets rid of that problem right away with its free cloud storage. All the digital content you own and have acquired from Amazon can be stored in the Amazon Cloud, thus freeing you to download as much as you need – and want.
Since the Kindle product line is first and foremost known for its e-book reading features, Amazon made sure that its tablet is able to offer the most refined experience for digital readers.
With the Whispersync technology, users can automatically sync not only the latest data about their e-book library but even their video library as well. Now, you will not only know what was the last page you have read on the latest paperback but also easily go back to the last scene you watch of the latest episode of your favorite show.
With a seven-inch display, Kindle Fire may be a little smaller compared to other tablets in the market. Nevertheless, the quality of its display is more than up to par, being able to deliver high-resolution images of up to 16 million colors. It also boasts of a lightweight but heavy-duty construction, built to be 30 times tougher than plastic.
Other exciting features to enjoy from the Kindle Fire include having Wi-Fi connectivity and USB port connection, a maximum of eight hours of battery life, 8GB built-in memory and anti-reflective treatment to make the display clear and easy to read even in the harshest light levels.
If other tablets have left you wanting due to limited connectivity or insufficiently developed features for enhanced digital reading, the new Kindle Fire from Amazon may just be what you need.
