I started to put administrative things on the first of my Treos long time ago (I think the name was not Treo even but Palm something, with the shape of the Treo though). Stuff that was not very urgent and that required concentration too valuable in the office to be wasted on that red tape nonsense. Read those on the train. BTW the small screen helps toward reading most of the words. I never became familiar with the automatic flow. I have excellent eyesight. No glasses yet.

Then I discovered ebooks with ereader.com and stayed with them until I got my Sony 600 this year. My horizon enlarged a bit (with the bigger screen) and having to get books elsewhere. MR was the major change. It put Calibre in my daily routine. A posteriori I can say that MR is much more fundamental to me than my new reader.
