Koobe’s Jin Yong Reader gets Mirasol, brings color to Taiwanese hearts
January 31, 2012 By
It’s no accident that Koobe’s Jin Yong Reader bears a striking resemblance to Kyobo’s eReader and Shanda’s Bambook which we toyed with back at CES . But while those e-readers brought Mirasol to their respective South Korean and Chinese markets, Koobe’s entrant will do the same for Taiwan.

Under the company’s newly minted NBC Publishing imprint, coverage related to current events, docs and bios, in addition to content culled from other NBC Universal divisions, will get a second life as either digital singles (think: longer than an article, shorter than a few chapters) or straight-up eBooks, with about 30 titles slated for this year. The venture, spearheaded by GM Michael Fabiano, will also reportedly serve as a platform for indie authors that rely heavily upon NBC’s own archives for sourcing in their work
