This is true - I've sent an email to their customer service, so we'll see what happens...

There is already an ebook reader on the iphone... It works okay, but it's just not something I want to read on. Also, I can't imagine much in the way of book selection unless the book reader comes from Apple itself and they get behind it.

Yes - technology prices do indeed go down. I've been a tech geek for long enough to have experienced this many times. I will say that the iPhone price drop was the most extreme one I've ever experienced, though, and I did take advantage of the $100 store credit Apple offered to early adopters afterward...
I only tried one of the book readers on my jailbroken iPhone (which is currently up on eBay - I prefer the stability of my locked iPhone instead) and didn't really like it. I read somewhere that Mobipocket is planning an ebook reader application for the iPhone, and if OTA downloads are part of that, I'm in, and my Kindle is going on eBay!
