For some reason reading on a laptop just doesn't appeal (books or
comics). Reading on a hand held device is fine, though. It's a decent
experience; I would rather use my phone than tote around a paperback,
but some books I'd rather keep in hardback. I do plan on checking out
the iBooks store when they expand it to the phone, but the Kindle
store will likely remain my primary source.

If you are not aware, Amazon's Kindle app has become available for
PC and
Mac. Of course, it's also available on the iPhone, iPad and iPod
Touch.
What I never realized is how big Amazon's free book catalog is, most
of
them classics. I'm just a little upset that the app is not available
on
Android devices...yet.
I recently downloaded the eReader app for my Droid and my netbook and
started reading Stephen King's Cell on both (http://bit.ly/9pPXKA)
but I
have found that Amazon's ebook market is a little less expensive than
eReader so I plan to start using the Kindle app more, especially now
that
I have browsed Amazon's free ebook catalog.
I know a majority of you will probably not be inclined to read books
on
your computer but I wanted to point out to those that have a netbook
(Shag, I know, is one) that, as per my blog post from above, you can
hold
your netbook like a hardback book for reading. Just a suggestion.
