Yes, I read ebooks on the Samsung, but then I did on WinMo too, and PalmOS before that. There is another thread in "Other Devices" that lists all the Android reader apps, but I am partial to FBReader. Even though I have to strip the DRM and convert the files with Calibre. Since I do that anyway in order to be compatible with my various dedicated readers, it’s no big deal.

I think the biggest thing I like is no stylus, and in order to make things big enough for finger input, everything is necessarily much larger. For my ancient, diabetes afflicted eyeballs, that’s important!

My wife still has a WinMo 6.1 phone (HTC Mogul), and whenever I have to help her do things, I find myself squinting to read the screen, and poking through the less than intuitive interface to figure it out. With Android (and WebOS), I am naturally led to the required screens. Usually just by touching the large in your face menu button.

I have never used a winmo device so I can not comment on it. But, I have a Droid and LOVE it, I use Aldiko as my reader and with come help from dark reverser and calibre have been able to read whatever format I would like on it. The screen is fantastic and the apps I have are nothing short of amazing with more being addded every day. Someone earlier mentioned shying away from the Droid touch screen becasue of their bad experience with the BB Storm. That is the phone I came from and trust me when I say the touch experience is light years better on the Droid than the Storm. I am new to mobile reading and have only used my Droid for it so therefore have no basis for comparison with other ereader devices. But, I have found that my Droid serves all of my purposes including ereader and mp3 player admirably.

I went from a Treo 700wx to an HTC Hero and would never go back. Absolutely love Android.

Currently using Aldiko as a reader and it works great. Not to mention all the other useful apps.

Aldiko on the G1 :-)
I use Aldiko on the G1 & love it. The G1 (HTC Dream) is perfect for me (real keyboard) although they say I'll never go from 1.5 to 2.0 ...

I coudl tell it was going to be a bad day when I would feel a lot of heat at my belt. When I would take the phone out of its holster, the battery would be nearly combustible and the battery would be at one quarter at 10 AM. then it woudl start beeping to let me know that it was running out of juice, lighting up the screen and running another thumb twiddle app just to drain the battery some more. I couldn't even turn it off with a switch because Treo was made without one. I have an HTC Hero and love love love it! I haven't tried the reading apps yet, but I was thinking of getting one or two to see what it had to offer.
