14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has posted a new job ad on its Careers website looking for a Software Development Engineer that could help create a “groundbreaking” Windows reading app for books, magazines, and comics.
While nobody knows for sure whether Microsoft has really big plans to compete against market leaders in this particular side of the industry, such as Amazon Kindle, it turns out that the application would be available on wide array of devices, including Xbox One.
“The Music, Video, and Reading team has been brought together in Devices & Studios (DnS) as THE Microsoft team laser-focused to deliver the next generation of media content experiences across devices powered by the services and magic of Xbox LIVE,” the job ad writes as reported by Neowin.
Microsoft is already holding a partnership with Barnes and Noble, so Redmond could very well use the available resource for the development of this new app.
