Man, I kinda think this is crazy - but I guess make what sells, heh.

I would NEVER want to read a book on my phone; I spend enough time staring at a computer screen, and squinting to read or having to move the page would just really throw me out of the flow of the story.

Now, a research or informative paper/pamphlet I could see being great, especially if I could highlight text, insert bookmarks, etc. THAT I would use.
