Everyone in the US book business is waiting for the promised fall announcement by our biggest bookseller, Barnes & Noble, as to what kind of ebook device its going to get behind, and now the biggest bookstore chain in Canada has let out that it may be announcing its device of choice at right about the same time. A story at CTV.ca by Chris Abel reports that “Indigo Books & Music Inc. are currently in final talks with a number of E-Book Reader manufacturers and will be choosing one to launch as their own here in Canada by the end of this year.”

Abel says Indigo CEO Heather Reisman told him ”it won’t be the Sony Reader, already available and supported by Sony’s own online E-Book store, nor Amazon’s Kindle which has yet to find a launch in Canada.”
