Are you one of the lucky ones who bought an iPhone? (If you are, I'm so totally jealous. Can I borrow it sometime? Or maybe just hold it?) Well, the iPhone is soon going to have a new feature.

The publishing company HarperCollins is setting up a link that will allow iPhone users to read excerpts from some of their upcoming books.

So you can talk on the phone, text, listen to music, browse the Internet, and read--all on the same gadget.

Would you want to read on your iPhone? Personally, I think I would. I love reading, especially when I travel or when I'm eating alone. But sometimes it's just a pain to lug a big fat heavy novel around. Reading on the iPhone (even if it is just an excerpt of a novel) would be much more convenient. Hopefully other publishing companies will follow suit, and we'll have a larger choice of what to read--that is, if you can get your hands on an iPhone.

Then again, I don't know if I would want to pay $500 plus just to read part of a book. I can read a whole book for free at the library! I guess going to the library just doesn't have the same coolness factor as holding an iPhone.

Well, since I don't have an iPhone, I guess I'll just keep reading books the normal way. But do you think putting book excerpts on the iPhone is a good idea? Do you think you could get me an iPhone?

I really want an iPhone.
