Interesting to read so many posts at MR, Rhadin, from folks who find their recreational reading has significantly increased since they got their hards on an ebook-dedicated device.
Maybe it's because so much can be read in those odd few minutes of standing or sitting around at rail stations, doctors' waiting rooms, even checkout lines at the supermarket rather than wasted.
For me (I've been housebound for some years), the undoubted increase in my recreational reading is mostly down to the ease of reading in bed after a hard day's slog at the desk. I didn't realise, until I got a reader a couple of years ago, just how darned awkward and uncomfortable a paperback or, especially, a hard back can be to handle when you're lying down.
Cheers. Neil
