There used to be hacks like that for the PC years ago, that would let you create a self-displaying text file. the user didn't have to have anything installed to read it -- all they had to do was run the program.

In which case I don't see that going that route would be much of a benefit, unless they provide a free conversion program ... but I imagine for something self displaying that might be difficult.
I know that my Kindle Store books can only be read on the Kindle, but there is so much free content out there that I can read on my Kindle and on my computer and my PDA (if for one second I wanted to read on my PDA) that it makes up for it.
Ah well ... I have no idea why I even wandered in to this discussion. I'm not going to purchase an iPhone, for reading or anything else. I love my Motorola Q phone too much to give it up (and I already have all the apps for it since it runs on Windows CE).
