Books come to UK mobiles
News brought to you by Skint Tariffs. Providers of price comparison for cheap international calls.In the past, if looking at a phone book you were almost certainly searching for a contact number. Now, a phone book service has been launched in the UK that means something entirely different.
Vodafone is behind a new initiative to get people using their mobile phones as a tool to read books, in partnership with GoSpoken.
Books will be available to buy for between £5 and £15 and this cost will be added to monthly bills.
Andy McNab, best-selling author of books such as Bravo Two Zero is co-founder of GoSpoken, which is a website solely aiming to get books on to mobiles.
He told the Times: "Sometimes we wonder if it's just us that think this is great and it won't catch on. But there's not a single person we’ve gone to - a publisher, retailer or operator - who hasn't got it."
In other countries, the idea is already popular, especially in China and Japan, where an elderly Buddhist nun released her latest novel as a mobile book.
