I ordered one of these the other day. Amazon estimates it won't ship for another 2-3 weeks. It is going to be a long wait.

I'm excited because I've never had an iPhone, and the last PDA I had was an original Palm III back in the 90s.

I'll probably use it to replace my Game Boy DS as a portable game, the odd web surfing session, and as an eReader when I didn't think I would need one and left my K2 at home.

To those of you who've got iPhone 4s, what can I expect from this in terms of an eReader? Is it usable, or is it just way too much scrolling? Can one zoom in on the text, or is one stuck with the whole page on a screen?

Thanks.
