Is buying books by text the next big thing?

New York-based innovation ShopText allows consumers to buy all kinds of products via SMS text, and they've just started selling books. [Via Galleycat].Is this the way of the future? I have to say it sounds like the most dangerous book-related invention since Amazon's iClick (deadly to the credit card balance!)

Do you fancy the idea of ShopTexting for books?

I've always been under the impression that, unlike we text-obsessed (no, I said text obsessed!) Brits, Americans didn't have much time for texting (something to do with being charged for receiving them in the U.S, perhaps...) But I guess the Blackberry/Sidekick/iPhone et al. have changed all that!
