Well I've got a G1 which is very similar in this respect to the iPhone (although the touchscreen is a bit less responsive and the config is slower) and in my experience it's quite a painful experience to read books on it. The screen is very small and generally it isn't as much fun as reading a dead tree book. Also, it can't read Microsoft Reader .lit files (which is a very common e-book format) so I would prefer something Windows based.

i use my G1 to read news and articles everywhere ... when awake in the middle of the night, while eating lunch, at a coffee shop, etc. You can't beat it for convenience, I suppose in a few years when my eyesight gets worse I'll need to rethink this.
