The Information

Apple Insider says that Google has launched a mobile Google Book Search with finger-ready navigation for iPhone and iPod touch devices. That means iPhone users can now access more than 1.5 million books that are in the public domain because of expired copyrights and licenses.

Also, Amazon, maker of the popular Kindle e-book reader, is making it's e-book catalog available to iPhone users, which the New York Times says will allow access to Amazon's collection of over 240,000 books for a fee.

I use my phone for nearly everything: scheduling, note-taking, picture-taking, music, video, navigation, web-surfing, emailing and reading e-books.

We are very close, which is probably a mistake.
