iPod Touch users looking to add to their handheld device from the App Store have been told that there are now more books available to download than games.
Data from Mobclix has shown that there are now over 26,000 novels, guides and other literature in the App Store, overtaking the number of games which stands at around 24,000.

Furthermore, there are also plenty of other applications to download across a number of categories, with nearly 8,000 lifestyle ones and over 5,000 sports utilities.
