Hi Tik
Hmm well I'm not sure I'd want to use the ipod touch as my only ereader! I use Stanza on it which is a brilliant little package for reading and have read 2 complete novels on the ipod touch so far but only by reading in short bursts. It is great for reading in the dark as it is backlit and Stanza lets you easily control the amount of screen light.
The trouble with any of these backlit screens is that they give me a headache after a while - so for long reading forget it. I don't think the screen is too small to read on though at all and for reading at odd intervals a great little reader.
For the bulk of my reading though I use the sony touch ereader. The technology which uses e-ink is very comfortable on the eyes and I can read for hours at a time with no problems.
Depends on your needs really. If you only want to read in small amounts then an ipod touch may indeed be adequate.
The battery cycle on the ipod touch as many people have said is not great but I've just bought a very handy little portable charger which gives me another 2 charge cycles while out with no access to a plug or laptop and this makes it much more useful as a traveling accessory.
