If you read on them, do you have issues with the size, or are you happy with the reading experience?

While I usually read more on the Cybook, I've recently been reading more on the iPhone, mainly because I usually have it in my pocket when out and about, and I prefer not to carry the Cybook unless I have a bag.
Let's just say that I have a over-abundance of cation as related to gadgents which may not be very sturdy, especially when I'm well aware of my own tendency of banging into things with alarming regularity
Having said that, while the experience or reading on the iPhone is quiet comfortable, It is nowhere near as nice as on the Cybook. Still, I came from reading on PDA's for 5-6 years, so I'm quiet used to reading on a small screen, so I don't really think about the size of the screen that much, except perhaps for the more frequent page turns.
That brings me to one of my pet peeves of reading on the iPhone, having to swipe the screen to turn pages. I detest having to do that, and on all my previous PDA's remapped some of the hardware buttons to use a page tun buttons. I wish I could use the volume buttons on th Iphone for this.
