” … Shortcovers, is from the large Canadian bookseller Indigo Books & Music. Due to show up in the App Store in the next few weeks, Shortcovers is a portal to sampling, buying and reading books, and will have a companion Web site. It will allow readers to get free samples of blogs, magazines and books — say, the first chapter — and then buy either the entire work or other individual chapters or sections, which the company calls “shortcovers.” ”

So if I bought the iPhone, would it have considerably less titles than the Kindle, or would the reading quality simply be less impressive? I’d like to know it Shortcovers could really deliver all of the books from the Indigo store, as well, or if it just has a couple of more popular books for sale. Thanks.
