Reading Kindle books on iTouch/iPhone? - GoFuckYourself.com

Decent solution or just a waste of time?

In other words, not a feasible replacement for the actual Kindle?

Much bigger screen on the kindle, and an even bigger screen on the kindle 2. Plus the battery lasts forever on the kindle.

I'm reading a CSS book right now on my iphone and think it's amazing. I've never used a kindle but I don't think iphone books are too shabby. If I can call, surf the net, play games, listen to music and read a book (in what I consider to be good quality) why the hell would I need a kindle? Just my

I really wish some place like Best Buy carried them, I want to see the difference in screen sizes on the original and DX.

If they can get over the formatting hurdles it would be awesome.

I quit using the kindle and my iphone has a few books on it and maybe it is subject matter but I have not gotten into it. readable though.

LOL. Good question.

Can't really, but I've figured out a way to do what I want. What's really stupid is ebooks are $20-40, Kindle books are $10. Drives me crazy actually.

if you really want to read just buy a kindle

Or a book. ;-}

I've held out on the Kindle because it makes me feel dirty. I have a relative who keeps hinting that she's getting me one for Christmas so I may get the experience soon. I'm afraid to like it.

If someone wants to buy me a kindle for xmas I will use it
