Shortcovers Builds Digital Reader for Palm Pre

Smartphone aficionados have celebrated the new Palm Pre phone all week, and now they have an e-reader for the phone.

Indigo Books & Music, Inc. just announced they built a version of the Shortcovers e-reader for the Palm Pre. The application includes titles by Random House, Harper Collins, Hachette, Simon & Schuster, Penguin and Harlequin. It can be found in the smartphone’s beta applications catalog, and is a free app.

Pam Deziel, vice president developer marketing at Palm, Inc., had this statement: “We developed Pre for people who want an intuitive phone that helps them stay connected to their entire life–not just work or play … eReaders are incredibly popular right now, and with Shortcovers, Pre provides a great reading experience for our customers.” (Via Publishers Weekly)
