I can. So can others. Why do you think Amazon released a Kindle reader app for the iPhone, and now for Android?
Almost everyone has a cellphone. Many, if not most, are phones that can run an app that can read ebooks, and have the storage capacity to hold them.
And many of those phones have data plans and Internet access, so that you can browse a site, and buy and download a book on your phone. (It's why Amazon released the Kindle apps - they want to sell ebooks.)
It's always a mistake to think you are representative of the market. The fact that you might do or not do something doesn't mean everyone else will share your habits. You might not be interested in reading an ebook on your smartphone, but a lot of other people will.
