I like loading books from http://www.booksinmyphone.com/ into my cellphone (its just an ordinary LG, not a fancy PDA or anything like that) to read during my commute (its great and its cheaper than my latte). They've done a really good job with the reader - its easy to read and real easy to use. You can even adjust the font size if you need to. It auto bookmarks when I exit book mode - on my commute home I just pick up where I left off. At night when my partner has gone to sleep, I can read with the lights off on night vision mode. I'm totally hooked!!!!
I heard the same interview. The guy was very disingenuous - claiming that the phone industry put cameras in phones because people were demanding it - I guess they were also demanding to have to get the photos off the phone via the carrier's 'pay for bandwidth use' system rather than straight to their PC via a cable or bluetooth. My cousin's Sprint phone is totally locked down, he was trying to upload a book from http://www.booksinmyphone.com/ but even using some OSS uploader he was unable to install the book.
