ARComics uses SONY PSP and FLASH, to promote reading

A press release came through to me regarding work by ARComics who have spotted a market opportunity to exploit the Sony PSP's Flash capability via it's Internet browser to deliver interactive graphic novels:

ARComics, Inc. continues to retool their vision/version of what a digital comic book could be with input from the visitors to the site. The site currently has several short animated Macromedia Flash teasers available (as well as artwork and information on various properties) that will give you an idea of the type of content being developed. Be sure to check out the latest release: THE FRONTEERS, to see the evolution of the ARComics digital animated episode on the Sony PSP.

ARComics sees the PSP screen size, Internet/network connectivity, commercial success and target demographic as a perfect venue to bring an entertaining means of reading to a new generation by blending technology with art and storytelling.

Could this be another novel (no pun intended

) way of encouraging reading via handheld technology?
