Ive been reading books on various Palm OS devices for years.
At any given point, Ive got five or more books in various stages of being read on my Treo. Waiting in line at checkout? Whip out the Treo and start reading. Sitting on the Metro? Whip out the Treo Once Ive read them, they get deleted from the PDA and I keep a copy in my electronic library on my shared drive at home. Also, since I purchase them through eReader - 9 times out of 10, I can re-download any prior purchase without cost whenever the mood strikes. Of course, I also have some in PDF version, html, plain text, etc. Im guessing Im not Kindles target market. I look for formats that conform to my existing devices not additional gadgetry. I was excited beyond belief when my PDA and phone became one not looking to backslide here.

I mean, we carry this stuff around with us as it is. Laptops, Treo, Blackberry, iPhone...why not just use all this stuff to read books? People already know how to use RSS, they listen to or watch podcasts all the time. Why not just go to a site, click, get your book, and read on demand?
