Though I wouldn't want to read an entire book on the iPhone, this capability is very handy.
Ken, b&n has an iPhone app as well which I'm sure will work in similar fashion with their Nook. My concern with the kindle, other than it's fugliness, and lukewarm reviews, is the proprietary scheme Amazon has for it.

The new readers coming out are going to be a lot
more versatile. As is usually the case in tech, first doesn't always mean best, and frequently winds up meaning worst
