4 ways to turn your mobile phone into an e-reader

According to The Economist there are about 5m e-readers in circulation worldwide and double that amount will be sold in 2010. Let’s compare it to touchscreen phones: 184m sold last year, 97% growth is predicted for 2010 (Gartner).
Mobile phone is a music and video player, gaming console or a mobile office, so why not an e-book reader? I’m not talking about one-time chase for a lost symbol. I’m talking about 15-minute read in a found time.
If just a tiny 1% of all new touchscreen users will think of reading a book, it’s 1,84m people who might need some hints. And it’s not only touchscreens which can be used as e-readers.
For all of you interested – check the possibilities, choose your favourite way and enjoy a true mobile reading! »»»

Wow, this guy has a vision. Bringing a mobile phone closer to human. Would love to try it. An idea with changing a weight is particularly interesting. Must be a weird feeling.
Weird feelings – this is what humans are expecting from technology, isn’t it?
