I just finished up my first ebook on my iPod Touch and I must say it seemed to work out very well for me. I do eventually want to get an eInk device as soon as something more geared to students and digital textbooks become available at an affordable price but in the meantime I am quite satisfied with the iPod Touch.

I have both Stanza and the Kindle app installed however I really only use the Kindle app if there is something on Amazon I want to purchase. The battery life was not really an issue with me, I turned off the wifi and reduced the screen brightness which saved alot of battery power. I found that reading with a black background and white text was much softer on the eyes which allowed me to spend longer periods of time reading.

I think the best perks about reading on the iPod Touch is being able to read in bed without disturbing my partner. Unfortunatly now I am not getting enough sleep because I am staying up way to late reading but the clock at the top of the screen does a good job helping me keep track lol.

On a side note I am also using ComicZeal which I highly recommend for anyone reading comics. I was never really big on comics but this app got me hooked on reading them.
