Can you connect the iPhone/iTouch to your PC and move books to it that way? What's reading like?
Has anyone found a review of eReader on the iPhone yet?

There's no dialing... it works over the internet/data connection... on the iPhone that could be the cell network or WiFi... on the iPod touch it is only WiFi.
You use the Safari web browser on the device to log into the eReader/Fictionwise store to buy the book you want. Once you buy it then it will show up in your bookshelf in the eReader app for download.
The current version doesn't allow you to move books/files from your PC to the device. But, that is supposed to come in a future version of the eReader app. You will need to run some app on your PC that the device connects to via WiFi to grab files. (I expect based on the iPod/iPhone API not giving apps access to local storage directly.)
