The iPhone electronic book software market proved that some people would "even read books on an iPhone" The netbook type of device is a better idea. The coming Apple media tablet will probably become the defining device. Eat your heart out Mr Bezos. I’m inclined to agree.

I've read several thousand pages on the Kindle and while it has its flaws the experience is quite enjoyable. I can't say the same about the iPhone. In a pinch it's nice to have the content available on the iPhone but reading on it is a bit of a grind. You really want to read "War and Peace" on the iPhone? A Kindle/iPhone hybrid does sound delicious.
