ICUE, for those about to read
ICUE provides a service and a Java application that enable reading of books on mobile phones, and they've won a Red Herring award for it.
There's plenty of free software for reading ebooks (check out GetJar), but what's particular about ICUE is that they also provide commercial books, and reading is done either a page at a time, as a scrolling banner, or a word at a time.
There are also providers of dedicated reading devices, but that hasn't caught on nearly as well (read: not at all) as dedicated digital multimedia players.
