Mobipocket "Over The Air eBookstore" for Blackberry devices

wallcraft · 03-13-2008, 01:47 PM

I don't have a Blackberry, but MobiPocket are advertising this on their home page.

Quote:

Do you read emails on your Blackberry? Why not read ebooks and enews? Download the free Mobipocket eBook Reader on your Blackberry, and enjoy the reading experience. The online eBookstore is also integrated: find and start reading your favorite stories 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, straight from your Blackberry! Read on and discover how your Blackberry can become the ultimate ebook reader.

The latest MobiPocket Reader for Blackberry can directly access your on-line accounts and download e-books without interfacing with Windows MobiPocket Reader. See Mobipocket Reader for Blackberry OTA eBookstore. This is very Kindle-like (and again from Amazon). I assume this will appear on other device types from MobiPocket in the future.

FYI, ereader allows for direct downloading on any device on which it is installed.

eReader also advertizes OTA, and seem to have implemented it before MobiPocket, but only for Windows Mobile see eReader FAQ: OTA. Both companies probably consider the most important feature of OTA to be "shopping", rather than "downloading".
