Come on, that's a pretty broad statement. I am as serious of an ereader as you'll find and I know others who are in the same boat as I am who use the iPhone as a primary reader. It all boils down to convenience for me.
I like multi function devices. I read my emails, check on my blog, pay my bills, track my appointments and read all from the same device. But, more importantly, the eink devices are without backlights and for me and many of the readers on my blog, this vital because so many of us read in bed with partners who do not want to be blinded by booklights.
The iPhone and devices like it allow for a boolight-less ereading experience.
