Waterstones has set a release date for its own e-reader device as it targets the Amazon Kindle
Following the success of the Amazon Kindle and the decline in physical book sales high street retailer Waterstones has announced it is to launch a dedicated Waterstones e-reader next year.
Looking to emulate the popularity of the Kindle and taking note of the move by US book retailer Barnes & Noble which released the Nook, Waterstones’ Managing Director James Daunt has confirmed the company’s own e-reader will hit stores in 2012.
"We in Waterstone's need to offer you a digital reader which is at least as good, and preferably substantially better, than that of our internet rival, and you will have a much better buying experience purchasing your books through us," Daunt announced.
Whilst specifications of the upcoming Waterstones’ e-reader have yet to be revealed Daunt stated that the project was “well down the planning line” with a Spring 2012 release date being pencilled in.
Could a Waterstones e-reader really challenge the market dominance of the Amazon Kindle? Let us know what you think via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

interesting but is it needed? Will it sell?
A quote online :
"A little fear and intimidation in the right measure can help teach respect for authority. Those on the streets of the country tonight know no fear, and no boundaries, no line at which society can say "This far, and not an inch further". They are untouchable - lay a hand on them and they'll "get the law on you". Tonight as a nation we have to say "this far......and NO FURTHER". The country has had enough."

Agree with the sentiment of the quote - but more importantly #PrayForLondon & hope that this stupidity doesn't spread....

Rebekah Brooks: Resigned after weeks of pressure
Rebekah Brooks, chief executive of News International, has resigned, the company has confirmed.
Her departure follows days of growing pressure for her to step down as the phone hacking crisis grew.
In a statement, she said she felt a "deep responsibility for the people we have hurt".
She was editor of the News of the World when murder victim Milly Dowler's phone was hacked.
Ms Brooks said she wanted to "reiterate how sorry I am for what we now know to have taken place".
Her statement went on: "I have believed that the right and responsible action has been to lead us through the heat of the crisis. However my desire to remain on the bridge has made me a focal point of the debate.
"This is now detracting attention from all our honest endeavours to fix the problems of the past."
Should have happened long before now!
(so what has Murdoch promised her is the question?)
