I’m in ebook heaven once again because I can access my accounts at ereader.com and fictionwise.com thanks to this freeware app for the iPhone!

Other manufacturers and wireless service providers are gearing up their strategies to take back the buzz and defend their market share. Here’s a peek at their possible playbook. Brighthand

Jailbreak and unlock your iPhone
