the advantage of the kindle is that it uses e-ink, which iphones and computers don't use

e-ink only uses battery when u change the text (turn the page), so it can stay on one page forever without battery dying

it also looks much much much more like reading a book...no backlight and no glare like with computers/iphones

this is just a start and not the holy grail, but e-ink is a huge advantage over normal displays when doing something like this

the eventual winner(s) in the ebook space will use e-ink or some similiar technology
