right. us "pda-readers" were the ebooks' early adopters
one might think that most people have never heard of a phone that has PDA capabilities. iPhone this ... iPhone that ... oooh, look, internet on a PHONE !
i will forever be a die-hard smartphone-ebook-reader, since for me, portability is the key. i could immagine a pda/phone with an e-ink screen. but i will not carry one of those huge readers around with me.
btt: another problem i see with the iPhone is that currently, all "ebooks" available for the iPhone seem to be PDF files.
and that most probably means non-reflowing text. so while it'll be cool to pinch, swipe and swoosh, it'll be a bitch to read. left-right-scrolling is horrible when you want to read something.
i've said it before and i'll say it again: we need mobipocket reader for mac/iPhone. whoops, wrong forum
