According to Martin Gorner, the president and CEO o Mobi, mobipocket will be introducing an e-book client for the Iphone soon. This new e-book was announced at the IDPF conference.This is a great news to people who enjoy reading digital content but still how will it affect kindle?
Before here are few charecterstics of this mobile read gadget.Its really interseting to read on the IPhone..
Mobi Desktop 6.2 can import EPUB, and will auto-convert an EPUB file to Mobi format inorder to let u read it. Even the next version of Mobi Creator and Mobigen will also support EPUB creation.By the end of the year, Mobipocket will release updated readers for the various platforms, as well as release a new reader for the Apple iPhone.Mr. Gorner also said that "sales of Mobipocket format e-books have doubled since last year, while giving a breakdown of users by device". The number of Palm users is shrinking, both as a percentage and as an absolute number. Having these high qualities is really dangerous on kindle,after all the Kindle format is a DRM-tweaked version of Mobipocket's format, so there's a key partnership between the two organizations. The iPhone and iPod Touch user base is far and away larger than that of the Kindle, which is great for the eBook market, but may hurt Kindle sales in the long run. Of course, the Apple products certainly have a smaller screen when compared the Kindle, but they offer connectivity options as well as a simple e-commerce experience through the iTunes store.
Therefore, i may say that Mobi may take the place of kindle,but still who doesnt have a kindle might not understand the significance of it especialy in terms of the reading experience,kindle will stay the best.Not because of its bigger screen,its the way it is designed as if ur reading a real book,turning pages in ur thumb.
