Text To Book
June, 29th - 10:25 am ET | posted by in Odds and Ends
An Italian author has just self-published his first novel Compagni di Viaggio (Traveling Companion) on Lulu.com. That’s no so unusual – except that he typed the entire 384 page novel on his cell phone during his daily commute. Using the predictive text capability helped but it was still a seventeen week process.
The science fiction novel hasn’t sold very well, despite its availability in Italian, English and Spanish, and being talked about extensively on the web because of its unique creation process. I wonder if cellular literature has a future as a genre.

384 pages… how long was his daily commute.
And what kind of phone was he using. Was it RAZR?
The RAZR couldnt pull such a move off… The keys will get stuck……
I’ll say it was probably one of the blackberries… something like the one i use: the 8703. RIM Rocks…
