So, check this out. Pretty soon iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) and Android (smartphones, Samsung Galaxy Tab) will be able to run all major eBook Reader formats. We already have Kindle, Kobo and Barnes & Noble Nook apps available on both platforms and Sony is committed to releasing its Sony Reader app as well. This is big news for avid readers who want the largest selection of eBook sources without needing the eBook reader devices. Add Google's eBookstore to the mix and tablets as e-reader tools just became a lot more compelling.
