Hm... Amazon owns Mobipocket... which is both an eBook reader for PDAs and smartphones and an online store for books for said reader. Where exactly is the news?
Btw., Mobipocket is awesome, especially when you have a dictionary. Don't know a word... no problem, one swipe over the word, a click, and there is the definition. Plus everyone has their phone with them, all the time (ok, almost everyone). And phone displays can be read in darkness as well. I do all my reading if possible on my smartphone, and it works well for me and my eyes (screen could be bigger, granted, but then again I have a 2.8" display in times of 3.5" displays). It's just much, much more convenient than real books.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
