While regular e-books are still looking to find their feet in the marketplace, LG has come out with a phone that does the reading for you.

Put an e-book on the microSD card, stick it in the phone, and it will read the e-book for you. Of course, you could just put the audio (even from Gutenberg audio) on the microSD card, but that's no fun!

The phone also has bluetooth and can work as a walkie-talkie.

Interestingly, there is probably software out there already for PalmOS and Windows Mobile to read text. Knowing the creativity of gadget lovers, I wouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere has actually used that method to read an e-book on a pda.
