Books overtake games as most numerous iPhone apps

Guarduan:

The electronic book passed another milestone this month, with the number of books available on the iTunes App Store passing the number of games for the first time. According to data released earlier this month by the mobile phone advertising company Mobclix, there are more than 27,000 books now available as apps. Games lag behind, with 25,400 published this year, followed by entertainment, education and travel.

I don’t mind reading blog posts and articles on the iPhone, but I don’t ever see myself reading an entire book on the small screen. Reading one on the iPad, however, is a completely different story.
