PMN research has an article about MobileReader and e-books on small screens titled
Are handsets suitable for e-books? .
Quote:
An announcement from HarperCollins, one of the world's largest publishers, that it will offer free chapter summaries direct to consumer's handsets in Australia started me thinking about the viability of the mobile handset as an e-book platform. The technology, of course, already exists - storing and reading large volumes of text is possible on most of today's mid-range and high-end handsets. The real question is whether the more fundamental aspects of reading text in the mobile environment are conducive to a good user experience.
