I think that's just his point - as the iPod is "the" standard mp3 player, maybe the iPhone becomes "the" standard mobile phone. And when that happens, many people carry a device which is very well capable of displaying books (let's say proper software is available by then). This is not the case yet: There are very many different types of phones, and only few of them have a large display.
But maybe it is a bit optimistic, cosidering the current price of the iPhone. On the other hand the iPod was and is one of the expensiest mp3 players.
