Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) has announced that its e-book service platform, the Hami Bookstore, will be accessible by handsets built on Symbian and Windows Mobile platforms starting the end of January in addition to current iPhone and Android-based models.

The number of visits to the Hami Bookstore has exceeded three million, with 300,000 books having been downloaded since the service platform was launched in October 2009, CHT said.

Among other Taiwan-based 3G/WCDMA carriers, Taiwan Mobile has offered e-book service through BlackBerry and Android phones, while Far EasTone Telecommunications (FET) and Vibo Telecom are providing similar services via Android-powered models.
