There are 16 titles available in the Apps store and in Kindle (Yalom on Psychotherapy, Helguera on Art, Samuelson on Economics, Nigel Holmes on Graphic Design, and fiction books like Seasick, Seeds of Silence, etc.) I am convinced that the iPhone is creating a new generation of book readers, that is why I see sales of these books increase each week. As copyright material, I pay royalties to the authors. Text on Phone is great for classics or public domain books but could be bad for copyright material. It could be great to let readers sample books before they buy them. Electronic publishing have the advantage of making books affordable. I am enthusiastic about this new platform.
