Once the Kindle app came out for the iPhone, my hardware Kindle gathers dust. I’ve multiple things to read in my pocket wherever I go, and I can always buy more and download them live via 3G or WiFi.

I’ve read dozens of books on the iPhone, by now; I prefer it infinitely to the hardware Kindle. It’s small, it has vastly more storage capacity, and I can even read it in the dark, due to the backlighting.

I think you need to spend a bit more time with the iPhone Kindle app, the B&N app, and the others, and learn how to use your iPhone; if you still feel the same way in a few weeks, I’ll be quite surprised.

For me, the iPhone with the Kindle app, the B&N app, and Bookshelf (for Mobi-format books) is infinitely superior to the hardware Kindle. The advatages of the iPhone are just overwhelming, simply no comparison, IMHO.
