Either way I cannot imagine writing a novel on the phone keyboard. I do however read English novels on my very middle of the road cell phone. The screen is large enough that it is no impediment, and the phone is small enough that I carry it everywhere. Now if I get some downtime I can just flip out a book. I get free books prepackaged from http://www.booksinmyphone.com I can install direct to the phone from the mobile version of their site.

Japanese with its chinese kanji box-letters is capable of transporting way more information than languages with a letterset on a small screen.
