"The question that remains unanswered is how Apple and Mr. Jobs will manage the relationship with software developers. When the iPod was released, music executives hailed him as a savior for their flagging business. But they later complained they were not paid enough. Hollywood studio executives were even more cautious, dragging their feet for months before allowing full-length movies on iTunes."

Update: How to enjoy your existing eReader books on the iPhone—the word directly from Steve Pendergrast, one of the proprietors of Fictionwise, which now owns the app and the eReader.com store. eReader’s iPhone link: here.
