An iPhone does one hell of a lot more than a Kindle, that’s for sure.
The iPhone’s screen might be smaller, at only 3.5-inches, while Kindle has an eInk screen that is 600 by 800 pixels (six inches diagonally)with a resolution at 167 ppi, 4-level gray scale. But while the iPhone’s touchscreen is smaller and has slightly less resolution, it’s capable of displaying colour.
The big advantage for Kindle is the matte cool screen, this making it really easy to read. Despite that, the iPhone’s popularity is growing in the book-reader field. Newly released and best-selling eBooks as applications for the iPhone and iPod touch will be released shortly.
Big names in publishing represent a big step forward for Apple, meaning it’s becoming an eBook vendor.
Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight, Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass and titles by Christopher Paolini, Brad Meltzer and Scott Westerfeld are already available, being the first official books on ScrollMotion. While there are many eBook readers in the iTunes App store, ScrollMotion’s product is unique because stand-alone and newer in-copyright titles and best-selling novels will be available. Each ScrollMotion book is a separate application using Scroll Motion’s new Iceberg reader technology.
Still, it’s rather annoying reading a little screen while it’s beaming light into your eyes while you squint at it.
