I got around to downloading Aldiko reader for my wife's Droid, and trying it out. It's easily as comfortable to read on as MobiPocket on my PDA (which is my preferred reading device), and though I'm used to page-flipping with a button, you quickly get used to a thumb-swipe to change pages.

The only thing I had an issue with was the Droid's habit of dimming and brightening its screen after a short period of time... I haven't spent enough time on the Droid to find the override to that!

I read on my PDA all the time... it's not crazy, it's easy. As I always say, "You get used to... what you want to get used to."
