I read an article today that discussed how mobile/smartphones (such as the iPhone and Droid) may be more important to the future of ebooks than dedicated ereaders (such as the Kindle and Nook). The current price of ereaders may be beyond the budget of many readers who would like to try an ebook. With the creation of ereader apps such as Aldiko for Android devices and Stanza (as well as the Kindle app) for iPhone, ebooks have become more accessible. As smartphone screens improve and mobile ereader apps continue to evolve, I believe many readers will turn to their mobile phones to enjoy a good ebook. What are your thoughts?
