news.bbc.co.uk — From texting to surfing the internet and making video calls, the ways in which mobile phones can be used seem to be ever expanding. In Japan, another string has been recently been added to the mobile bow with the launch of electronic books and comics specifically for phones.

I'm an avid manga reader and cellphone user, but I'm not sure that my cellphone is going to be useful for reading manga. Small screen, low resolution... not the best technology available, I'm sure.It's still cool to see the Japanese going all-out crazy with their technology adoption though.And "another string has been recently been added to the mobile bow" is possibly one of the worst metaphors I've ever heard. How is a multi-stringed bow more useful than a single-stringed bow? Unless they're talking about a violin bow, in which case adding one more string isn't going to make much of a difference.
