ebooks for kids, via the Cult of the Dead Cow

I want an ebook reader on my phone, so that I can read stories to my kids with the lights out.  Better yet if the ebooks have just enough pictures to satisfy the need for pictures.

I have a bootlegged ASCII text from 1987 published by The Cult of the Dead Cow of Dr. Seuss's "Cat In The Hat". It's perfect to read on my Blackberry.  I don't read the preface to the three year old, which reads as follows:

Ed. Note: I typed this file at 7am after a long day under the influence
of too much Diet Coke and DayGlow Abortions music in the background.
At a time such as this, I enjoy Dr. Seuss and find it quite soothing to read
his literature. I also enjoy verbally degrading my dog and hyperventilating.
At any rate, this is a great piece of..literature to have and deserves a place
in your library. Thanks to Tippy Turtle (Bunny Lust author) for providing
me with this delightful book.

If I was going to spend any time (personal or professional) doing electronic publishing, I'd aim squarely at the market of parents reading stories to their kids from their mobile phones.

Dayglow Abortions is the most awesome name for a band EVER.
