Simon & Schuster to Begin Delivering Content to Mobile Phones
Simon & Schuster is partnering with Macmillan Publishing Solutions to deliver over 500 Simon & Schuster books to any “web-enabled mobile phone.” Titles will include “The Secret”, Star Trek books, Nancy Drew mysteries and Ernest Hemingway stories. The plan is for all S&S ebooks to be available through the service.
My suggestion? Get your YA books on the service. I don’t know a kid beyond the age of 12 in my neighborhood that doesn’t have a web enabled phone. As for me, I don’t even know how to access this Global Reader platform so I hope that the S&S promotions give us some idea of how to connect to S&S.

Hey Jane, thats an interesting observation… I don’t know if its healthy for kids to read books on their phones, but I guess this way they will read more than before. I checked out the Global Reader service and found it to be very easy to use. just go to http://wap.global-reader.com on your phone.
Hope they keep adding more books to the library. It sure is convinient when commuting but I still think nothing beats the feel of a good book in my hands!
