One of the main reasons I bought my iPod Touch was to use it as an eBook reader. I seriously considered buying a Kindle instead but it seemed silly to pay extra for a device that did less.
I am constantly using my iPod Touch to read eBooks.
The biggest advantage that the Kindle has is that it has Amazon securing eBook rights with the publishers which means they have a ton of titles and that list is sure to grow rapidly over the next few years and probably at a rate that the other eBook stores will have trouble matching especially if Amazon can secure exclusive eBook distribution rights.
But as of today, that doesn’t even matter anymore. Amazon has released a Kindle app for your iPhone/iPod Touch
I haven’t had a chance to install the app to see how it matches up as an eBook reader against Stanza or eReader but based on the description it at least seems to match all of the normal specs in that regard.
I was just getting ready to order a couple books for an upcoming vacation and will definitely be ordering a couple Kindle versions to give them a try.
