It’s no secret that I love having eReader on my iPhone and iPod Touch.  I’ve already read a couple of books on both devices and have found it to be an enjoyable and convenient way to read. (Yes, if you are making the jump directly from dead-tree editions it may be an acquired taste.)

Today’s tip doesn’t have to do with the iPhone/iPod Touch app, but it WILL make your reading experience more pleasurable…or, at the least, less expensive.

If you purchase your eBooks from eReader you are CRAZY not to subscribe to their newsletter, since each week it includes a coupon for 10% off your purchases.

That’s a nice discount for doing nothing, but there is often, an even better deal to be had.

Yes indeed that is a direct quote from a conversation I had earlier today (minus the part that is inappropriate for a G-Rated website, of course).

And the app that evoked that response is…

Filled with credit cards, courtesy cards, AAA and the like, my wallet is overstuffed with no less than 10 different cards at any given time. A quick count reveals that my wife’s exceeds 20. That is a whole lot of cards- especially when many are, at best, used rarely.

A little tip over on ’tis Goud (via JKOnTheRun) brings my "card-age" down significantly.

Best of all, it is easy to do.

Non-Tech Method:

Last year LifeHacker had a post about how to condense up to eight different club cards onto one simple card. As they describe-

Just enter the barcode numbers and choose the store for each card you want to get rid of and Just One Club Card will convert them to a printable, one-card format. Fold, laminate, and enjoy.

It is a simple, low-tech method that could be a big help. It is, however, is soooooo 2007. Now that 3rd Party apps have come to the iPhone there is a much better method.

The other night I noticed that MacWorld’s review of Jott for iPhone gave the app just three stars and indicated that the app was available for both the iPhone and the Touch.

Only problem is… They are wrong.

They are, in my opinion, wrong to only give it three stars and they are wrong about it being available for the Touch. It’s not.

If you go to the App Store from your Touch and type "Jott" into the search feature it returns both "Jott for iPhone" and "Jott Networks". Unfortunately when you tap either of them in order to load them on your Touch the store returns "None available". Why? I suspect the lack of a microphone on the Touch but regardless it means no OTA download of JOTT for iPhone.

So are Touch users who love Jott completely out of luck? Not necessarily although it isn’t the simplest of work-arounds.
Here’s how I got Jott on my Touch.
