If you carry a BlackBerry and enjoy reading books on-the-go, the popular eReader app has been ported over to the Berry in Beta form. The app has been available for Palm, Symbian and Win-Mo devices for quite some time now, so you know it will work… well, it should 
So far the eReader Beta is getting mixed reviews at best. jkOnTheRun is reporting how well it functions on the BlackBerry Storm, while my bud Kevin over at CrackBerry points out some of its shortcomings:
The biggest drawback that I can see from the service is the fact that books cannot actually be purchased from within the application itself, you physically need to open your browser and head to the eReader mobile site, purchase your reading choices and then access them from the application, a major drawback as I see it. But it does have some finer points as well to go along with it, such as being able to access already purchased books from Fictionwise and being able to store said purchases to the media card. All in all a cool application, worth a look if reading on the go is what you like to do.
All I can add is it’s in Beta. Lets hope they work on a built-in store. That would certainly streamline the whole purchase process, and make the whole user experience that much better.
