It's nice, though, to see that B&N is going to keep up the pressure on Amazon! Amazon is already working to put the Kindle reader onto WM, so that will push things back into that direction as well. I wonder, however, how the overall eBook market is actually doing. Are eBooks really anymore popular than they were a few years ago? MP3 existed for quite a while before the digital music market took off and I suspect eBooks are waiting for a couple of things - a consistent format - and decent pricing. The second one seems to be here. Now how about the first! I’ve got at least one Kindle book that cost more than $15! It’s nice, though, to see that B&N is going to keep up the pressure on Amazon!

It's the one thing I miss most about moving from WM. My eReader library is huge! Once eReader is out for Android, I’ll definitely be back.

EReader has a major head start in that you can get it for just about any platform...if Amazon has a Kindle app that works on WinMob/Symbian/Blackberry/Mac/PC that would be awesome. I admit, it makes me want to install ereader on my E71x just to have it and keep 1-2 books handy for times when I'm not near my Kindle.
