I'm not sure if this even exists in any mentionable degree, but are there any light novels for people new to the language? I can read both kana sets and a few hundred kanji, so while I can read a bit, I'm not exactly ready for prime-time...
I can imagine a few "markets" for this, but they're rather small. Kids of a certain age, and people who're just trying to learn the language, like myself.
In the case of digital media, it'd be terrific if it could be found in normal TXT format.
