I was talking to someone the other night who mentioned that she only read about 2 books per year, I would easily read that in a week! EBR's are obviously not useful for my acquaintance, but for me it has been as exciting as getting an internet connection all those years ago!

What struck me last night is that I actually PREFER to read books on an EBR. And I've been reading for about 60 years - maybe longer, I don't remember ever not being able to read.
So I got to wondering about why I now prefer an EBR to a pbook, and what I've concluded is that it's the single page screen. Years of working on a computer has accustomed me to reading on a single screen, so that the double page view of a book is actually distracting...
