I agree, and I think you may have misunderstood me. In my case, and I think in the majority of cases, surgery has resulted in worse vision (loss of adequate depth perception being a major issue). I consider myself fortunate that LCD reading doesn't seem to bother me. My disagreement was with the general premise that Nook is for older readers while the NC is for the "younger generation".
