And you thought watching TV on a mobile would blind you…Simon & Schuster has struck a deal with MPS Mobile’s Global Reader, which will distribute more than five hundred of the publisher’s bestselling and popular titles on its Global Reader mobile service. Simon & Schuster plans to make its entire eBook catalog available to the service in the coming months. For now, titles such as The Secret and books from the Star Trek series—(apparently, the most successful franchise in publishing history) are available.

Books will be priced the same as they are in other digital formats—anywhere from $2.50-$10, depending on the title. Individual chapters will cost $0.99, which MPS Mobile says gives consumers a “low cost method” for “dipping” into a book to see if they want to buy it, or by giving them an easy way of accessing a specific chapter of a book they may have already bought in print or e-book format. Global Reader is available on over 75 mobile carriers in 160 different countries. (release).
