A recent report finds that in the last four months, book apps are now more popular than games on the iPhone. Says the UK’s Telegraph:
[I]n the last four months, book apps have exceeded the popularity of games apps – with one out of every five new apps launching in October having been a book. In September, games apps were overtaken by book apps for the first time.
The reporting firm, Flurry, suggests that the iPhone might even compete with e-readers like the Kindle. Read the full report here.
If you’ve got an iPhone, do you read on it? Now that you know you can, will you start?
I do read on my iPhone – it has been a lifesaver during middle of the night feedings with the new baby. She’s sleeping and eating, and I can catch up on some much-missed reading. I downloaded the Kindle app. Amazon has a bunch of free books for offer with this app – some not so great, but some classics.
