But yeah, I so wish they hadn't gone at&T for their provider :( Although, If I head back to NZ at least I'll be able to use Vodaphone!

I hate AT&T. They have installed 3G in some of the strangest places in NC and yet ignore the rest of the state. They absolutely sucked in the SF Bay Area. SF! The one place they should never suck because there is no excuse there are towers every 2 feet. I wait till the last minute to pay the bill so they have to call me so I can tell them what a poor fucked up service provider they are and how I might deem to pay them if and when I feel like it. I figure if they are gonna fuck me then I get to make it a nightmare for them. I keep thinking I should just unlock the dang phone and go get a T-Mobile sim card but that would ruin some of the functionality. Apple has taught me a good lesson. Never ever buy or use anything AT&T. Just NO! I must point out that the $99 iPhone came with a fairly hefty monthly fee attached

I <b>love</b> my iPhone, but reading on it is an 'in a pinch' thing for me to do. Battery life fades too fast and my eyes just don't like the back light the way they once did (God, how old I make my 39yrold self sound!). Much prefer the battery life and greater comfort of my Sony. But that said, I'm right with you when it comes to price (although I must point out that the $99 iPhone came with a fairly hefty monthly fee attached.... and the touch is more expensive). If we can get all those millions of iPhone users into reading eBooks via their devices, I'll be one happy eBook author :) It will be a twofer deal for me, I’m afraid.

Am coping with the text size and can even read with my glasses off, which I cannot on my laptop. Will give these apps a crack. Ta!!
