Ok, THis may not go here but if not Please Move it,
I am sick of trying to hunt down Books, In my quest to find the perfect device I have downloaded and tried all the conversion software to become familiar with the process and have a nice library to start with when I make a purchase. I was looking at a Sony PRS 505 and Kindle, With the recent announcement of Fictionwise ereader app for the Iphone I was intrigued for several reason. Which I will list later. Now here lies my frustration, I was pretty much satisfied with the content availability for both the Sony and Kindle either natively or via conversion. Now while looking for ereader formated books I am really disappointed in the lack of selection. Several of the same title widely available in almost all other formats were no where to be found is ereader a Declining format? I was under the assumption that it was a very well supported one. I still hope that Adobe DE will come to both the Iphone and PRS 505 that will simplify things. Now for my reasoning for the iphone.

1. I need a phone
2. I need an Ipod
3. I need a Reader

Now I know you are thinking that the Iphone is not the best solution for Number 3, But think of it this way. I will need a phone when I get back, also I have discovered how to put the Kids entire DVD collection into Itunes allowing me to take all their movies with us on trips and never have to worry about where we put a certain DVD. So the Iphone will allow this just plug it into the DVD player in the car and Presto any movie anytime no Disc required. But the best reason is that by getting an Iphone and using it for a reader now allows me time to see if 1. Sony moves to epub/Adobe DE support. 2. I might be able to see what the Kindle 2.0 will feature. I Look at it as a perfect interim solution until first of the year that will hold me over until the dust settles on some of the Ebook issues to date.

Let the Great Debate begin!
