The link below is to an article that looks at reading on smartphones – do you? To small to be useful as far as I’m concerned. Perhaps a little now and then in the future – haven’t yet. I do have the Kindle app and Adobe Reader installed, so a little may be possible at some point. But not a lot.

Advertisements on the Kindle was not a smart move by Amazon, but they have quickly responded by allowing owners to opt out of the advertisements for a one off fee.
