There's an interesting contrast between Sony, who are trying to sell dedicated eBook readers, and MobiPocket, who appear to be porting their reader to everything with a microprocessor in it, and persuading you to read books on a device that you already own (I half expect to see "Mobipocket Reader for Toasters" any day now...).
It'll be interesting to see if either approach ends up dominating the market. Although it's nice to sit down for a "proper" reading session with a dedicated eBook reader with a large screen, there's also a lot to be said to being able to read a couple of pages on your "smartphone" in the checkout queue at the supermarket.
