Cell Phone Novels

Move over porn, there's a new sheriff in town and it goes by the name of novel.

I know that while I'm sitting down on the subway I find entertainment in the form of nudity on my cell phone. But hey hey, times they are a changing. The new trend taking over cell phone entertainment is called "keitai" or cell-phone novels. Catering to a younger audience, mostly teens, this new phenomenon beams a cell-phone story right into the readers handset. What's more is that this systems allows user interaction, readers can give advice to the writer as the story is being written!

Right now its estimated that there are over 1 million cell-phone books and 6 million users. Recently a 15-year-old girl in Japan just wrote a book that sold over 110,000 copies and raked in over $600,000 in sales. Reading is fundamental...and so are cell phones. Look what can happen when you combine the two.

Publishing is fucked...but reading is forever.
