I assume it will be more similar to your phone, so if you don't mind reading on that type of screen maybe Apple will gobble up the market share.<br /><br />I bought the Sony Pocket e-book.

As more and more people enter the tech-savvy world we might see more ubiquitous stuff emerge... hard to say!JordyFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844872385116859913noreply@blogger.com
