Sony is taking steps to open up its ebook Reader and online ebook store. The electronics giant said it would stop using a proprietary standard in favor of the ePub open format. Sony said it would have its store converted to the format by the end of 2009. Most Sony Readers can already handle books in the ePub format. This may not mean the end of all locks on books readable on Sony's device as the ePub format has an option to implement copyright controls. (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
