Mobile operator Vodafone has formed a partnership with GoSpoken.com to launch Books on Mobile, a new service that will make books available on mobile phones.
Author Andy McNab co-founded and co-funded GoSpoken.com along with Tony Lynch, the managing director. Initially, three 15-minute short stories by McNab were recorded and released on iTunes. The venture was successful, which encouraged the pair to set up a service offering books on mobile phones.
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology enables a three-hour audio book to be downloaded in three minutes.
According to The Times the GoSpoken.com website has signed up publishers in Britain, including Penguin, Random House and HarperCollins. The company is now looking to the European publishing market.
It is anticipated that Vodafone Books on Mobile will cost between GBP5 and GBP15, with any purchases being added to users' monthly Vodafone bills.
