Seismic Shift. eBooks have arrived Reading eBooks with free softwear on telephone screen is easy, now Click on headline for story plus photo(s) By Pen Waggener I've been involved in retail book sales for more than a decade, and eBooks have been on the horizon now for nearly all of that time. I think they may have arrived, I downloaded the free Kindle software for my phone just to see what it looked like. Then I downloaded a book that I was planning to read anyway, thinking I'd get started on the phone, and later grab the real copy from the coffeeshop to finish it. But I found the reading experience on the phone to be pretty nice, and before I knew it, I'd finished the whole book. And started on another. Four novels in, things look strangely different. It's easy to overlook just how much reading I do in a typical day. Checking news and gadget blogs isn't really a good use of time, but that's what I'd been in the habit of doing when I was waiting in line somewhere, or had 20 minutes of downtime.Since my phone's with me *all the time,* it's been trivially easy to spend that time reading a good book instead. (Note: However you go about reading them, I highly recommend Christopher Fowler's Peculiar Crimes Unit mysteries.) Pen.
