I guess I have to disagree with the naysayers. I've owned the Sony Reader (it's out on loan to a friend) and when I bought the iPhone and was able to add books to it, I stopped using the Sony Reader altogether.

I read everywhere and having the iPhone be my reader as well is ideal. For the record, I can read a book and a half without a charge. It's definitely not as sweet as the Sony Reader's battery life (and other comparable devices) but it's not troublesome for me in any way.

I don't think I suffer from ADD and most of my reading is novel length books.
