New: our mobile phone site
Today’s an exciting day for 5th Estate. We’ve built a WAP site for people who like to think, listen and read about books even when they are out and about.
You can visit the site by texting 5th to 80880.
Like 5th Estate blog, its packed full of free stuff - from videos featuring authors like Nigel Slater and Gautam Malkani, to a wallpaper gallery where you can smarten up your phone with some beautiful original artwork (I’ve got the Londonstani icon on my phone and it looks great).
We’re also giving away some free audiobooks as downloads. Currently you can get a Sherlock Holmes short story to listen to on the way to/from work (even works underground) and some Great Speeches of the 20th century - great if you missed the Guardian’s recent run of them.
There’s a live feed to all the book news headlines as and when they come in, so from now on, you can always be in touch with the latest news even when you’re away from your screen.
Hope you like it. This is an experiment to see how much you’ll want to get 5th estate’s stuff on your mobile, so do write to me at editor@fifthestate.co.uk if you have any comments, suggestions or requests for things to put on there.
PLUS If you want to sent live feeds from Fifth Estate’s blog the second they go up there, you can follow FifthEstate at Twitter.com
