I have lately been reading a few books from www.booksinmyphone.com The screen on my old cell phone is pretty small, but within a few pages the authors voice was dominating the experience. The killer advantages for me are the optional ‘night mode’ red on black color scheme and the fact that I don’t have to think about carry or charging another device – the books are just ‘there’ in the phone.
I have internet connectivity and with a few clicks from the mobile version of the site (mobile.booksinmyphone.com) I can find and install books ranging from _Moby Dick_ to contemporary SicFi (thanks to Creative Commons licences).
It seems like Kindle and other special purpose readers will get squeezed out between improving cell phones and ultra small laptops.
