Sony Japan will launch the “Reader for Xperia” e-book application for Sony Xperia smartphones later this month. The app will be used to view and manage e-books that were purchased in the Sony Reader Store [Jap/UK/US]. The reader will support XMDF, .book and ePUB3 formats as well as comic books. Like any decent reading app, you will also be able to adjust brightness, font size, highlight text and bookmark pages.
Sony Xperia owners running handsets on at least Android 2.3 will be able to download the app when it launches at the end of June. A wider Android release is expected later in the year. The Japanese-bound Sony Xperia GX and Xperia SX handsets will come pre-loaded with the app when they launch in July and August respectively.
