What is the future of the Reader Store? (Top)

Sony announced in early February that it plans to close Reader Store in the U.S. and Canada on March 20, 2014. Unless a customer chooses to not be included in the transfer process, Reader Store will transfer customers to Toronto-based eReading company Kobo--an admired eBook store and reading community.  We strongly believe that this transition will allow customers to enjoy a continued high-quality e-reading experience.

How will the transfer to Kobo work? Do I need to do anything now? (Top)

No, there is no need to do anything now. Until the Reader Store is closed on March 20, 2014, you can continue to shop at the Reader Store and use your Reader device. In late March, you'll receive an email from Reader Store with instructions on how to transfer to Kobo.
