When it comes to digital book readers, the iPhone and iPod Touch are gaining ground against the Amazon Kindle. Forbes reports that mobile-phone-based applications like Stanza are leading the ebook race in a telling market:

"According to Paris-based Feedbooks, Stanza's largest distributor of content, the application's users have downloaded more than 2 million books. By comparison, Kindle users who access Feedbooks' book catalog--directly via multiple methods, including through its preinstalled Web browser--have downloaded less than 40,000 of Feedbooks' titles, although they also have wireless access to the company's contents."

If you want to sample some of that winning content, Feedbooks has a special Banned Book list--just in time for Banned Books Week festivities. That list includes George Orwell's classic 1984. That dark novel is the most popular book on Feedbooks, followed by The Art of War--these are gloomy days, even in ebooks. (Via TeleRead)
