Amost three million active e-book users on the iPhone/Touch and other smart phones.

So says Flurry. The full report is available on Scribd, with the e-book section is at the bottom. Thanks to Bill McCoy’s blog for the link. Two important stats:

Growth of more than 300 percent happened from April to July.
“eBooks represents the second-largest category in the [iPhone/Touch] App Store, with 14% share, only behind Games, which comes in at 19%."

I wonder how many people have multiple reader aps on their iPhone and what the use level is to be an “active user”. I have 8 reading related aps on my iphone, wnated to try out a bunch of them, and would say I’m an “active user” of one. Do I could as 8 or 1 user?
