I've carried a Palm PDA or smart phone for over ten years, but have always resisted ebooks because trying to read for a long period on the small screen put me off. With the release of the EVO 3G, there is a reader with a 4.3 inch screen, half the size of the screen of my beloved Kindle. I thought this might be large enough, and found my experiments with reading on FBReader worked out. I posted a review thread here in this forum recently, and am about to update it with a report of a better way to "flick" to change pages.
I'm not particularly touting the EVO 4G, there is at least one other new smart phone with a 4.3 inch screen out. Presumably others will come as well.
I have mostly Kindle books, and a Kindle app for Android is on the way that will make all Amazon ebooks readable on Android devices, you'll need an independent ereader if you want to read non-Amazon books.
