On the other hand, it might be popular on iOS. The integration isn't as tight (at least it wasn't when I had an iPhone) and the reader apps aren't as good (at least they weren't when I had an iPhone).

I'm an Android guy and can't imagine switching back to iOS. A great part of that is because of CC. If the iOS version had a good eReader, I probably would never jump back, but at least it would be a possibility.
There are several good reader apps now, and it's pretty easy to hand a book to one of them now, so much of what you say about Android applies to iOS as well.
