It would be far, far better to have a dedicated application for reading e-books on the iPhone and iPod touch, especially if you could store e-books on the device. TextOnPhone would not work if offline, which is pretty much mandatory if you want any kind of decent battery life out of your device. Here's hoping that when the iPhone/iPod touch SDK is released sometime this month, one of the first apps made available will be a native e-book reader!
