*Warning, Rant Incoming!*

Why why WHY do people think that anything ANYONE does, Apple can do better, for no other reason than "It's Apple." I'm sorry, but something like the iPhone is not a good e-reader. Short term, quick reads, maybe. But to sit down with a book? No. For a number of reasons, both the Kindle and Sony beat the iPhone for reading, but the main reason is that's ALL they do. They are designed from the ground up to do NOTHING but read books. So they do it very very well.
*Rant over!*

HEhe, sorry, but it really upsets me when I hear people say, "Oh, the iPhone is just as good, if not better than any e-reader on the market." The iPhone can read books, but that's not it's major function. It'd the difference between a scalpel and a Swiss Army Knife. Sure, both can cut, but one is designed for a specific purpose, and while the Swiss Army one may work in a pinch, a Scalpel is best for the job. Anywho, Flame away!
