Microsoft is not interested in e-books. The corporation remains on the sidelines of the hype in the reader market. This was stated by Steve Ballmer during a visit to Holland.
Literally Ballmer said the following: - We have a device for reading. And this is the most popular device in the world - a personal computer.
Let me remind you that Ballmer has repeatedly stated that Microsoft does not need to create its e-book, and even offered Amazon and other reader manufacturers to make their content accessible to PCs. ')
Balmer's statement should sober up experts who predicted Microsoft would soon join the e-book market race. However, despite the loud statement of Ballmer, rumors that Microsoft is developing its e-book - a little more than empty talk. At the very least, the Courier concept, along with the likely Apple and CrunchPad reader options, gave food for the “Release / Failure” series.
