No, we aren't yet in a spot where the market is booming, but it's just about ready to explode. I read on my iPAQ 111 handheld with Mobipocket, and love it.

And to comment, if all the e-book sellers adopted ePub, that would help. Richard mentioned MP3 players - they have a standard format - e-books will too.... eventually I’m one of the many who read on my iPod Touch.

I'm reading on my iPod Touch these days, and I am loving Fictionwise right now. All sorts of unknown (by me) authors to discover. And they have this great discount scheme where they refund you 100% of the price for some books---in store credit. It is great value especially if you plan to buy more books anyway. I am reading a lot and having tons of fun. This guy has no clue what he’s talking about. I’m reading on my iPod Touch these days, and I am loving Fictionwise right now.

When ebook displays get cheap enough (and they will), and when they become just another consumer gadget like a mp3 player (they will), and when readers realize how much money they can save by buying e rather than p (they will), the market will go absolutely nuts.
