+1 With my iPhone/iPad, I am not committed to buying from Amazon (which I do mostly), or Barnes and Noble (never use them) or Kobo (never use them). I can even buy from the Apple iBookstore (don't recommend until somebody cracks their DRM).
Great selection of magazines with apps as well....or through Zinio, pdf's of most any magazine you can think of.
Flipboard and Zite have turned my RRS/news reading into a magazine experience as well.
And iBooks app finally has night mode
Highlighting the advantage of apps for their ability to get better quicker than is typical for hardware solutions.
