Next hot cell phone trend: picture books?
![]() The picture book will be read page by page, like a kamishibai—no scrolling, just clicking from page to page. It will include both popular children's titles and original content. You can buy them online for 100-200 yen each. The company hopes to have 50 titles and 10,000 downloads by September. The official press release can be found here (in Japanese). [via Textually] |

Makes my eyes ache, cellphone screens are a bit too small for my personal comfort.
I foresee a population with a permanent squint and furrowed brows from reading off teeny, tiny screens. |

I wouldn't mind seeing this tried in the U.S. There are all kinds of applications. Kids stories or even comic book stories to some degree. It's worth a shot ... as long as I am not the one who has to front the money!

![]() ![]() Not neccesarily on a mobile phone (ugh), but the opportunties are almost limitless for these types of e-books on even slightly bigger screens as small as the iPhone. ![]() We, as e-publisher, just need to be able to be more formatting aware and offer it as an option. |
