How can this comparison even have meaning. The Kindle is so much better for reading than the iPhone or iTouch it is silly to compare them.

Well, they are comparing them as e-book readers. I use both and like the Kindle much better as a reading device. The screen is much better for the eyes and buying books is a snap. I used Stanza on the iPhone for a while, but stopped because I didn't find it compelling enough as a dedicated reader.

The age of the reviewer is important, IMHO. My 50 year old eyeballs have trouble reading on the small screen. But I still prefer the tactile experience of a paper book. Screen reading just doesn't have that sensual feel to it.
