Linktone has launched a new mobile content channel in China, called “m-novel”. The novels are sent via SMS, with 70 characters per message (since Chinese characters take two bytes). I don’t read Chinese, but I’m pretty sure characters represent whole words, so you could get a longer story than with English. The first novel offered is a love story called “Distance”, which have each of its 15 chapters sent over consecutive days.
