ok ok... so he (in this case - Charles Stross) changes publishers mid-series (as far as I can tell) but I was crying in frustration!
(well very nearly - I would have had I followed the impulse to do 'very bad things' to my LCD monitor).
Hmm the other thing using a mobile phone would be battery issues. How long with the LCD screen 'active' could you read for? On the gripping hand it is rather cool.
(hmmm. need a new phone... hmmm)

I have found almost every book that I am interested in at either the Sony or Kindle store, So I really was about to flip a coin on which one of those two devices to get, Needing a new phone, I have been without a Cell phone for almost a year because I am in an area that has no coverage, So When I get back I will be buying a phone regardless.

To the original poster - you can use iTunes on a notebook PC and store your childrens' DVDs that way without needing an iPod/iPhone. The iPhone doesn't really have enough memory to use it for serious video storage.

I never intended the Iphone to be my primary Reader just an interim for the next few months. Also in the Car is not an ideal place for the kids to be messing with a notebook, besides they really are not old enough to be trusted not to fight over it. I was just going to plug the Iphone into the RCA jacks on the DVD system. I think 16GB is big enough for 10 of their movies or so depending on the length of the trip, I would have my MacBook Pro with me to change it up for the return trip if necessary. Plus with the WIFI I could theoretically have the laptop on say in the back or passengers seat and just import more movies if need be.
