    Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle e-readers will finally arrive in Japan in early October, the Nikkei reports. Amazon, which just refreshed its Kindle line, has been held up by a failure to reach deals with top Japanese publishers, but some have come around this year. Local e-commerce giant Rakuten gave the Japanese e-reader market a needed lift earlier this year by launching the $100 Kobo Touch, and should remain a tough competitor for Amazon. Sony (SNE) also competes in the market.
