![]() ![]() Examples include games developer Koei which is set to publish a collection of novels with anime illustrations aimed at middle and high schools students. The company will publish 20 e-books on its mobile internet site in September and plans to add 10 manga e-books by the end of this year. Kadokawa Mobile plans to expand its range of titles for mobile phones to around 2,100 from the current 1,300. The new titles will include illustrated novels and manga. Publisher Shogakukan is also increasing the number of mobile e-books it makes available before the print copies are released. Finally, mobile website operator CA Mobile has spun off its e-book division in April and will launch a new site and service. Related: Next hot cell phone trend: picture books? |

I also wonder about the costs of the books, manga, etc, that they're downloading. |

In Denmark, mobile, fixed-price data plans - at a reasonable price IMO - have become common in the last year, and I think the market is starting to take off.
