Books On Your Phone

Simon & Schuster is launching a publishing service for mobile phones. “The deal, which will target 18 to 34 year-olds, will allow the imprint to market a number of its current and forthcoming titles through a subscription-based service that sends text messages, excerpts, previews and cover art to cell phone users. There will be “a nominal fee” for the content, with a portion of the revenue going to S&S.”
