Jim, I read 2 books per month using Microsoft Reader. I use a 24" HD LCD Monitor. I use Zinio Reader to read 4 magazines per week. I use Microsoft Outlook to read the NY Times daily. I've been reading on some sort of Monitor for business and pleasure for 20 years. I'm 72 years of age and still have 20/20 vision. I never get eye strain.
I may start reading Sony file books since they just slashed their book file prices by 20% to 40%. I recently downloaded their eBook Library.
I never buy paper books since I cannot adjust their fonts. With my PC everything I read can have their fonts adjusted.
I read a lot of old newspapers on
www.newspaperarchive.com. None of those old newspapers are even available for non-PC readers.
The main reason for all this is that I am always multitasking. I may watch stock prices or news at the same time as I am reading a book. Non-PC readers do not allow for multitasking which is essential for me.
