Building a Better Mobile Version of a Literary Magazine

This week the science fiction almanac Brain Harvest launched, holding authors to a 757-word limit. As Nick Mamatas’ inaugural story (“Patmos Like Pink Elephants“) illustrates, the word-limit fits beautifully into the magazine’s mobile phone edition.

On an iPhone screen, the paragraphs scroll as smoothly as a Twitter feed. These cell phone adapted pages will become more important in the future. What are your favorite literary publications with a sleek mobile phone version?

Here’s more from the magazine: “Welcome to the launch of Brain Harvest and our first story… “Patmos Like Pink Elephants” is a witty homage to Hemingway’s ‘Hills Like White Elephants’ with, of course, a bad-ass twist.”
