It's possible to read on it, but it is not as pleasant, nor as immersive, as reading on the larger Kindle DX.

There are people who are happy reading even on the 3.5" screen of the iPhone. Good on them, but I find small screen experience akin to watching an epic movie on an airplane coach seat monitor.
