> The three top-selling Japanese novels in 2007 were... originally written on mobile phones...why young readers are abandoning traditional novels: “They don’t read works by professional writers because their sentences are too difficult to understand, their expressions are intentionally wordy, and the stories are not familiar to them.”.. cell phone novels may never extend beyond Japan, a country given to #PeculiarFads, but the novels nevertheless demonstrate how changes in reading inevitably spur changes in writing.
