I get distracted with things like surfing the net or using Zinio to read the magazines I have in my account. So this article was good for me to read as it showed me just what I was missing with iBooks. I actually learned quite a bit about the program from someone that actually has used it extensively, so if you want to learn about it, it is well worth the read. Which is your favorite eReader?</p>

Not a fan of iBooks. It's nice in every way except the one way that matters most: there are no publishers there. Stuff that I've later found on the Kindle just isn't in iBooks. Not exactly a good thing.

They got everything right except the content.

I have a Sony Reader, as well as the Kindle app for iPhone, iPad and PC. I like them all, but have been using the Kindle app almost exclusively for the last few months. I'm hooked.
