CES Expands Ebook Space After Allotted Space Sells Out
This is yet another sign that ebook readers are the next big thing and that the ebook category is getting ready to explode. Dealerscope reports that the The Consumer Electronics Association announced today that the eBooks TechZone at International CES has sold out of space. Additional space is being added in the Las Vegas Convention Center's Central Hall.
The eBook category is experiencing astounding growth, with more than one million units expected to sell in the United States this year," Karen Chupka, CEA's senior vice president, events and conferences, said as part of the announcement.
"We have received overwhelming response from companies interested in exhibiting in the eBooks TechZone for the 2010 CES. In fact, the original space allocated for the TechZone has already sold out and we are adding additional floor space to accommodate our customers. This exciting new TechZone is sure to draw plenty of attention at the 2010 CES."
Ebook readers like Amazon's Kindle and the Sony Reader are already available but this is just the beginning as competition heats up among gadget manufacturers. Consumers will have more and more ebook readers to choose from. 2010 will see the arrival of Plastic Logic's flat digital reader and a rumored tablet device from Apple.
