It's more like reading for the future instead of reading to the past (which paper book is about). Apple's tablet will make it even cooler, and this excitement about "will I finish before the battery is dead" makes me think of a special kind of short stories - "battery life fiction";-) "Literature is perpetuum mobile" – it sounds like my mission:-)

This brings literature and generally written word closer than ever to human beings. It's quite burdensome to drag books with you (at least a couple of them) and have them ready for reading at a shake of your hand.., isn't it? But smartphones and especially the iPhone with its revolutionary multi-touch screen do this job perfectly. The only constraint is battery life. But literature is perpetuum mobile, so no battery life is ever going to stop it :) How come everything just boils down to the iPhone? ;-)
