Just downloaded it, was on email list for when it was made available. Anybody else tried this yet?

I did. I'm quite glad looks great on the Evo. My Evo's text is even sharper than my iPad's text.

Hmm, I haven't seen the iPad yet, but I thought it would make a great e-reader.

is there a way to put our own ebooks on it? or do the books have to be from amazon/kindle?

Don't quote me because I haven't tried anything outside of amazon, but I believe it has to be from amazon. Also, if you have any purchases from amazon on other platforms, as I on the Kindle, it syncs it for you on the Evo.

I love books. I got excited at first that I didn't have to carry the kindle anymore, and forgot about the apps thread, lol. Momentary tunnel vision.

I've been contemplating purchasing either a Nook or Kindle myself. My question is: You prefer reading your books on your EVO over your Kindle? I'm curious as to why.

The more things I can have on one device means the less I carry around with me, it is just easier and less hassle. At home I read the kindle now, but when out and about or on the train coming home from work I can read on the Evo, and the screen is big enough.
