Kindle for iPhone

So I'm a sucker for all types of gadgets and when one of my co-workers bought a Kindle a few months ago I started to evaluate my own need for a digital book reader. At $300+, I could not justify purchasing a gadget for the sole purpose of reading books, when there are already $300+ worth of books in my bookcase at home waiting for me to read.

So just the other day Amazon released the Kindle app for iPhone which I think is super genius. Of course, it sucks for any new Kindle owners but makes the casual reader like me happy. So far I've downloaded samples of a couple of books I've had my eyes on and if I can successfully go through these, I may just start purchasing books through Amazon Kindle now.

Funny thing: I was browsing through the Kindle Top Sellers on Amazon.com and was surprised to find that a lot of people download romance novels to their kindles. I guess this is to be expected -- what's more embarrassing than being caught lurking the romance aisle at Barnes & Nobles? I'm expecting that in addition to business books, the Kindle will be VERY popular for romance novels and self-help books -- anything people don't want to be caught at the cash register with.
