I find the iPhone screen works well for the reading - the two readers I'm testing out (eReader and Stanza) both use a slightly off-white background for the page which seems to help with reading for long stretches - I read for over an hour on a recent long train trip without a problem. Font sizes are variable as well, to suit eyesight and general preferences - for me, a readable font gives a decent amount on each page so I don't feel like I'm turning pages too often.
Both use taps to turn pages - right for forwards, left for back - which is nicely intuitive and easy.
I have a slight preference for the eReader app, it just feels nicer than Stanza, but Stanza is a bit easier to get books onto the app - eReader requires you to upload them to an eReader.com account, then download them, whereas Stanza syncs with a desktop version.
The Kindle does not win any prizes for aesthetics, either on screen or off!
