As Into the Abyss goes to Kindle Select for the next 90 days, meaning the ebook will only be on Amazon for 90 days.

I am curious as to people's preferred medium for reading books?

This includes dead tree editions as well.

I myself have a couple an Android phone and book sized Android tablet as well as an iPad and both PC's and Macs.

Personally, from a "reading pleasure" point of view I like hardbacks followed by trade paperbacks.
From a convenience point of view, I prefer Kindle because I can read the books on all my devices easily.

Yes, there are nook readers for all platforms but I like the Amazon bookstore a better than the Nookstore (and iTunes) in terms of search capability.

But that's just me.

Here are some polls, feel free to add your own comments.

The Xperia should definitely increase your reading space vs the iphone.

You now just have to put up with agonizing wait for it to appear!

Seriously?

Are you in the UK/Europe by any chance? Or, since I know they were starting with selling unlocked ones, are you going to "bring your own phone" to your carrier, because last I heard they hadn't introduced any official carriers for the US, and the UK list was a bit questionable.

But I know T-Mobile for example goes out of it's way to help people bring their own and some of the other guys are starting to get the hint...

That's great news. I'm sure you're psyched!
