tnkgrl, I am still with Verizon. I keep both carriers for reviewing all the different phones.

Mike, those books were purchased over almost 10 years.

Oh my James! You got an iPhone… Congrats :) What happened to your BlackBerry? Did you jump ship from Verizon?

I have over 350 books in my eReader bookshelf. I LOVE reading books on the iPhone. :)

txboris: for the moment, you have to purchase books on the eReader website. That puts the content in your online bookshelf. Click the Bookshelf button in the eReader client (and enter your eReader credentials the first time) to see your purchased titles. At that point, you can download them.

I suspect that a future client the Fictionwise folks told us about will offer direct purchases through the app, but for now, you have to buy from the website and then DL to the client. I already had several hundred books in my online bookshelf from the past five years, so I was able to pull down titles immediately.

I second the above statement.

Okay so I’ve got eReader up and working on my iPod touch. Free books Last of the Mohicans and Tarzan of the Apes. Books load into the reader slowly compared to on my Axim.
Now how/when do I get books from eReader.com on my Touch?

Yeah, I went to the store at the Grove here in L.A. at 1 p.m. and the line was egregiously long. I was told there were still people not in the store yet who had been there before opening time. I left and may or may not get one later depending on how the reviews play out.

BTW, can you use the “Wifi iTunes Store” when connected over HSDPA?
