Yahoo! News – Review: Kindle e-book reader comes to the iPhone by AP: Yahoo! Tech

Yahoo! News – Review: Kindle e-book reader comes to the iPhone by AP: Yahoo! Tech.

Boo Yeah!  Kindle, meet the iPhone.  iPhone meet the Kindle!  Thank you Amazon for bringing these babies together.  Love to read?  Now there is a Kindle reader for the iPhone.  The app sounds great and although I am not fond of reading on my iPhone, I will download the app and get a book to try it out.

Check back later for my report.   (I’m so excited, I could spit!)

p.s. I just got it.  Check out my comment below.

Lightning Review: iRex Digital Reader 1000S Lightning Review

Lightning Review: iRex Digital Reader 1000S Lightning Review.

I like to read but am not sure I want to venture into the world of Digital Readers.  The part about the reader is that it can hold multiple books, I believe.  Then again, I have an iPhone and do the same with it.  What is the allure?  Let me know!
