I wonder if they will have Stanza app available for Ipad. I understand it has been bought by Amazon and looks much like the Kindle app (though I like it a bit better). If so--you can buy other ebooks available through other sellers and read on Touch and Iphone. You need to order/download through computer, then they have a PC and Mac software that allows you to move to Touch (I haven't tried it yet to be truthful--have only dled classics and public domain ebooks to try the app). If so, that might be something useful.
I will say one of my favorite apps for the Iphone/Touch is the Pandora app. I listen with a net radio to Pandora in one room, but found with the app I can listen to Pandora with the Touch by using either a cable (RCA or other) to radios, sound system, powered speakers, etc. It opened that up for use up by the pool, anywhere in the house, anywhere I have wifi (I have Touch).
