How To Read Books on the iPhone? Macworld Counts the Ways.

Amazon.com’s new Kindle reader application for the iPhone is certainly the most publicized e-reader for the device, but it’s not even close to being the first.

For e-book fans looking for reading material not available in the Kindle format – or just wondering what other options there are for turning the iPhone into a reading device, Macworld has put together a list of what it considers the “most relevant reading apps” currently available for the iPhone.

The list: Stanza (free); Instapaper (free; $10 pro version); Classics $3); eReader (free); iFlow-based books (various), BookShelf ($6) and Amazon’s Kindle for iPhone (free).

You can read the good, the bad and the ugly about all the contenders here.
