My wife just got an iPod Touch last night, so we've been playing....

Yeah, that's the kind of thing I meant, although I didn't think of using iBooks. While I like my iPhone, it's important to me not to cave to Apple on this, not to let them use their clout to stifle ebook competition. Of all the ebook merchants, I think they're the one that suits the needs of/understands readers the LEAST--and I spend a lot of money on ebooks. So I would rather hack my own books (even though I am lazy enough not usually to bother stripping DRM) and get them on my phone some other way if they do cut off my apps. (I don't usually buy on the phone anyway--I have a dismaying tendency to click on the wrong links because the screen is tiny, which can lead to accidentally buying the wrong book)..
