NY Times on eBooks
The 'eBooks are dead' articles are finally starting to fade. I agree that phone and PDA screens take a bit of getting used to, but once I got used to them, I found I can actually read faster. My brain can grab the whole screen in a chunk, sort of like the old Evelyn Wood speed reading.

I did wonder about what it said about using the numeric keys on the phone, though. My phone is pretty basic (a Samsung m510) but I do have keys that let me page through jpegs (which is the only way I've figured how to read eBooks on my not-so-smart phone). I'd think a smart phone would have page-turning keys too. Surely Palm phones have the little next button like Palm PDAs.
