Ether Reads is an iphone / ipad app that allows you to download from their library of short stories. The interface is beautiful – as you come to expect on the iphone. The pages flick over when you slide your finger on them.
The authors are a mix of the bestselling and not-so-famous. There are little tags on the stories to help guide your choice, and a few free ones to get you started. An app for ‘the other’ platform – the Android – is in the pipeline
Ether selected three of my stories for publication. They’re priced at about 70 cents each.
Mobile Phones and Short Stories were pretty much made for one another
Short stories create those moments when you’re lost in another world. Mobile is the perfect place to find them.
