What would you say is the best strategy if one wants to launch an ebook startup between the iPad (comfort of reading, interesting for design) or the iPhone (nobody reads ebooks on iPhone in Europe, reduced design choices). Back in the days, Readmill launched on iPad first and got some traction both in Germany and in the US. More recently, Oyster or Wattpad launched on iPhone first… Do you guys have some interesting metrics or advice or personal xp about this?

Glose, a recent ebook startup, allows its readers to read for free the entire book. Since I also build an ebook reading app (Addr, check it on the App Store if you will), I wondered whether or not we could implement a copy of Hackers and Painters as a free sort of 'tutorial' book.
