Having recently got my first iPod Touch I can see the advantages in having fast and easy access to written content without having to fire up the computers. I am using my own wireless connection as that removes the expensive data plan options that have slowed this market down. Apart from anything else being able to hit wikipedia or other sources while simultaneously watching TV or doing something else makes reading on an iPod very easy. The old what business are you in question for Amazon has been defined to take into account the seismic shifts in delivery of written content. I also like the multi-purpose idea of being able to access kindle based content via an iPod for example. As they say - watch this space. Somewhere I have a (mostly) unread copy of the Gutenberg Galaxy - a book about the death of books but as many Twains might say rumours of the that have been exaggerated.
