Larry, I like reading on the i phone too, on the Kindle there, or the i phone (apple) books store, but I've never had a "real" Nook or Kindle (they seemed too limited to me) and I don't have an I Pad (they seem fabulous but too big).
Now on the Droid, Larry, what company do you use for a contract? Or do you use one at all? Apple told me that ATT does not offer a contract on the Droid, but rather only Verizon. Does Sprint (I am not sure what they offer?) have its own Droids? There are several on the market. You never hear of Sprint in association with the I Phone. The Apple connection with Verizon is relatively new (I am getting all this from the Apple technicians in the Apple store near here) and only concerns the I Phone 4, not the 3 GS which I have.
I do know (and this may not affect anybody here) that the I phone 4 which Verizon offers does not work overseas, so if anybody were planning to go on vacation overseas, you'd want another option. The technology of the 4 is also dicey and is not fully available in all situations, tho new upgrades have taken care of the volume issue.
I had an ATT tech person tell me get a Droid, he loves the Droid, it's the latest and best thing.
But I am so grateful to have the I phone it's not even funny and I'm also glad to be living in this age where so much is possible technically to enjoy.
Am I the only person here obsessed with Angry Birds? hahahaa
