Re: e books on your cell phone

Has anyone tried this out? I took a look, and it looks like the software 
to display the books is written in Java. To my knowledge, Java 
applications on cell phones aren't accessible. I'm pretty sure this is 
the case on Symbian phones. You may be able to access Java applications, 
and this one in particular, on the Windows based cell phones.
