AP has sent out a story about mobile phone users in Japan being able to download and read entire novels on their handsets. It’s a bit over-simplified and sensationalist, but it does indicate the size of the trend…”Several mobile Web sites offer hundreds of novels – classics, best sellers and some works written especially for the medium.” It’s got some benefits over normal books too – portable, and “the handset’s backlight allows people to read with the lights off – a convenience that delights parents who like to read near sleeping infants.”
