I'm really surprised they are doing this. I figured it would be competition for the Kindle.
Precisely why I think this is just an add-on for Kindle owners.

OTOH, it may not be competition for the Kindle - I have done bit of reading on my iPod Touch, identical interface and screen to the iPhone, and it totally SUCKS x 50 compared to the Kindle, the Sony, or any other e-paper device. The risk is that folks who have never used an e-paper device will THINK that the crappy cell phone reading experience is just like e-paper so would not buy a reader. Even my son, who is technically sophisticated, seems to have this mistaken idea.
