[question]
Let’s talk about iPhone as an e-reader… and the hurdles to publishing there vs other platforms.
[/question]
[answer]
The biggest hurdle is the size of the screen. The second hurdle is how you’re publishing to the device. For instance, if you’re creating your own app, it requires a developer and approval from Apple. Right now, the iPhone is better suited as a “complimentary” device, one you can use in conjunction with your Kindle or your Nook, because they both have apps.
This is why they’re bringing out the Apple tablet though. Once there is a large full-color screen and a new periodical store, digital reading will hit new heights of popularity and acceptance.
