Does anyone else use this on their iPhone/touch? seems really poorly implemented to me - you're supposed to be able to call up the tool/navbar whilst in a book by tapping in the middle of the page, but that only works if there's no text in the middle of the page - if there is, then tapping just selects the text and tries to look it up in the (American) dictionary. Very frustrating.

Update: this isn't an app bug, it's a book bug! This only happens with the one book I've been trying to read so far - all the others work fine. I've tried deleting and reinstalling it, but it's still knackered, so I've reported it to Amazon.
Kind of hilarious - it's like those old books where you had to slit the pages before you could read them!

I've found it fine for reading using the iBooks app, I can bump up the font size and then hold it further away than a book - and the best part is, I can make the line lengths smaller (which is my main problem reading small print books, since my eye muscles and concentration span both got weaker!)
I was looking for a book that wasn't available on iBooks, hence getting the Kindle app.

I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with the Amazon Kindle geezer getting me to do all the stuff I'd already done - try with other books (no problem) - delete and redownload book - unsubscribe-resubscribe - delete and reinstall app. Then he passed it on to the tech team . At least it was on their phone time. He said they'll probably respin the book file and get me to redownload it and see if that fixes it.

I actually like reading on my iPhone. I just read Tess of the D'urbervilles as an experiment to see if I could read something really long on it, and it was great. It's nice to not have to carry something else around, and on the subway, it can be easier to hold the phone than a book anyway.
I may have to check out the Kindle app, as Apple's book store is pretty lame, selection-wise.
