I just read books on my phone, is it really that much better on a Kindle?

Yeh it definately has its advantages. It doesnt hurt your eyes after a while and it is a screen size that you can actually read. Overall its just a nice gadget to have

I'd imagine that you have Aldiko too right? Free books FTW!

My friend just got an iPad and it was just under $800...but I agree with you on spending $300 on Kindles and then paying for the books...which is why my cheap ass will keep reading them on my phone. Heck, if I get the EVO, I'll have an almost 5'' screen. I'm still eyeballing the Archos 5 which has a 5'' screen, costs $250, does all Android apps, is a GPS and will of course read books as well...

Its not for everyone. I cant stare at a computer screen for more than 2 hours without my eyes hurting and tearing up. With the ebooks I can stare at the screen all day and never blink. Some folks can stare at an iphone screen for days on end, I can do a cell phone for about 20 minutes before I get a headache from the small letters.

Never heard of that one, I get my books and some magazines (who wouldn't want to have the december 88 playboy with them wherever they go?

) through bittorrent sites. Been working my way through the extended dune series
