Borders/A&R sign with Hachette, set to launch Kobo 2
A new WiFi Kobo e-reader will be on sale in Australia by Christmas, and readers will be able to download Hachette Australia titles to read on it via the Borders/Angus & Robertson apps after REDgroup finalized the last of its deals with major publishers here this week.
Who’s signed what: Australian publishers and ebooks
