I've read some books on my iphone with the kindle app. I'd rather read on the kindle, but it was do-able.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.
Buffy ,'Get It Done'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I have a 4G Touch and apps for... lessee: Stanza, iBooks, and Nook. I might have had a fourth that I deleted. I thought Stanza was much better than the others, actually. But I also don't use any of them that much -- I put some free ebooks on in case I need a time-killer, and one how-to (ish) book that I only read in bits and pieces anyway. If I had a long metro commute or something, I'd use it then. I don't like reading on it enough to do so when I'm at home and have already been staring at screens for 8 hours.
-- Oh, but a friend has the 3G and she definitely reads on it a lot; we were talking about that recently. I'll ask which apps she uses.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have a bunch of e-reader apps on my iPhone and I never use any of them. (Kindle, Nook, iBooks, Stanza...maybe one other one?)
I love reading on the Kindle, but I think mine may be dead. It's a first-gen I bought used for $75, and unfortunately I can't afford to replace it with a new one, so I'm hoping I can bring it back to life or maybe just replace the battery.

Coding and Sleeping
Well, my 4G Touch will work for e-books, but I'd never call it a replacement for an e-reader.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The nice thing about iBooks is that it will accept pdfs, so I put knitting patterns and the like from the Internet on there, so I can get at them, even when I have no wifi.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That was wicked cool, Ginger!

Isn't it? I may have to figure out how to read it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
So totally awesome although I was disappointed the Disraeli theory didn't pan out. Roomies may have heard my shouted, "what?!" when I read that part.
ION- Once again the library book club has forced me to read a book I never would have and I absolutely loved it. Follet's World Without End is now the longest book I've read and although I laughed when the librarian said it, it did go pretty fast.
I couldn't resist sharing some of the more gripping parts with anyone within earshot and for once it seemed the housemates weren't totally uninterested in my gibbering. D loved the part about how chivalry made the French very bad at war and F enjoyed reliving with me the etymology of the word 'quarantine'.
I was very frustrated with the monks' adherence to the treatment of humors and I wonder if I will be able to stand their idea of medicine if should read the first book, Pillars of the Earth, knowing what I know now.
