I wouldn't call it amazing but it is darned convenient. I have my TV patched into my computer so I just load a book into the viewer in calibre, switch my TV input to the computer, adjust the zoom, then kick back and read. I even play music at the same time, using my computer. I don't have to get out of bed to shut things down. I just run a playlist and when the playlist runs out, the computer turns off the monitor shortly afterwards (I can always shut off the music earlier if I want using the mouse). The TV I can either turn off when I'm finished reading or put it on a sleep timer if I expect to fall asleep first. If I want to watch a visualization on the TV screen until I go to sleep while listening to music (it's surprisingly relaxing), I just minimize the e-book viewer, using the mouse (I have an extra one I leave on the nightstand), and set the TV's sleep timer with the TV remote. Life is good (and yes, I'm lazy).
