"The number of e-books available for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch through the App Store surpassed the leading category, games, in September for the first time, an indication that the devices could grab market share from Amazon market-leading Kindle reader, a research firm said."

"Despite the smaller screens on the Apple devices, 3.5 inches diagonally versus six inches for the Kindle, they appear to be good enough for reading for many people. This is bad news for Amazon and other reader makers, including Sony and Barnes & Noble, given how many more people own iPhones and iPod Touches than e-book readers.

Forrester predicts that a total of 3 million readers will be sold this year, and sales next year could exceed 6 million units. That's far less than the tens of millions of iPhones and iPod Touches that have been sold by Apple."
