Time has an interesting article about the current online trend toward “mini-lit.” The surging popularity of Twitter has contributed, I’m sure, but sometimes it also seems that people’s attention spans are getting shorter.

I’m still testing e-readers for the iPhone. Right now, I’m checking out E-Reader, Stanza, and Bookshelf as well as investigating other possibilities; I’ll be posting summary reports soon.
My favourite so far is Stanza, mainly because the developers seem to be actively improving it.
If any of you have suggestions for other good e-book reading software (whether or not it’s on the iPhone or not), feel free to post about it!
FYI, Wired has an article about Stanza for the iPhone.
