eReader is first to the iPhone!
Just downloaded the eReader software from the iTunes application store and am already reading a book from my bookshelf as I write this. Access to your bookshelf is easy, and book downloads are snappy (at least over wifi).
It's nice to finally have access to some of these older titles I purchased back in my early ebook reading days with my palm, as I don't do windows anymore and have gotten used to reading on the go with my Kindle. Only downside (and I know it has been a constant gripe since the PeanutPress days) is the need to input credit card info to unlock the book even though I have logged into my account within the app already. Oh well. |

Sounds like it would be fitting if you were the first to add 'iPhone' to your list of reading devices in your profile.
Two questions:
Thanks for the info! Jack |

Yes, please... screen shots, plus comparisons vs. Palm version-- what's missing, what's new and improved!

Must be an iPhone. The 2.0 firmware hasn't yet been released for the Touch.

I picked up an iPhone Friday and downloaded the eReader software before I was out of the mall. It comes with two free books and I browsed through them at the bar where my wife and I stopped for dinner and a DRINK (You wait in line two hours, you deserve a drink).
Anyway, book reading on the iPhone seems fine. Obviously not as good as the the Sony or Kindle since this isn't a dedicated eBook, eInk device and you have to deal with the energy sucking backlight. But it is every bit as good as my iPaq. What I like most about being able to read on the iPhone is that, although I may not have my Sony with me at all times, I always have my cell phone at hand. Thus, I'll always be able to read something. PS: I did have my Sony with me in the iPhone line which made the two hours a lot easier to endure. Now, if Apple had just been handing out beer.... |

I use my cellphone for these other RSS feeds, those that I don't exactly read, but check several times every day to stay updated. My phone is also useful for e-mails, twitter and social networks. |

And I just successfully bought and downloaded a book (Stuart Woods "Dirt") onto my iPhone. I am in geek-bookworm heaven!
