Google, Amazon, Kobo enter Brazilian ebook race almost simultaneously

The Kobo Touch reader will go on sale via Livraria Cultura; Amazon will begin selling its Kindle e-reading devices in the coming weeks (though its books can also be read on iOS and Android apps); and Google, it seems, will be focusing on getting its ebooks onto Android devices (though, if this chart is to be believed, there are no Android tablets, only phones, available in Brazil at present).
