The Web is Great: Read Your Book Anywhere
Web syncing makes book reading on multiple devices a breeze.
Sure, it's 2010 and we should have flying cars by now. But I still think it's cool that I'm reading a book (a real book) on my Blackberry. For Christmas, my wife bought me a Kindle, and I've read about two books on it since December. I would have read more, but my wife has seemed to have adopted the Kindle as her own.
That's ok.
I've discovered that I can read my Kindle content on my Blackberry, my MacBook Pro or even my wife's iPhone. What's the coolest feature of all is that regardless of which device I read my book on, it syncs to the farthest location. So I can be at home reading my book on the MacBook Pro, go to the dentist and continue reading the book in the waiting room on my Blackberry (synced to the correct location), and then come back home--and if my wife isn't using it--pick up the Kindle and get a chapter or two in before it's gone again.
Now the iPhone-iPad-MacBook ecosystem will be able to do the same.
Isn't the web great?

Great list of resources! I also recommend http://www.squadhelp.com for finding great domain names.
