Future of eBooks
I do almost ALL my reading of eBooks, magazines and newspapers on my 24" LCD Monitor. I use my Sony PRS 505 ONLY for supplementary reading away from my PC such as in waiting rooms. It would never replace my 24" LCD Monitor.
The future of eBooks is in downloads for PC's - NOT eReaders. The Kindle will eventually FLOP in my opinion since it does not allow the user to read its downloaded books on a PC. Its only hope is to come out with an eReader PC program.
The advantages of the 24" LCD Monitor are the following:
1. More flexibility in choice of fonts and their sizes.
2. Color.
3. Links to other Internet material.
4. Links within the eBooks.
5. More massive search capabilities.
6. More massive note and highlight capabilities.
7. It is far heathier to sit in a perfect chair with good posture than use bad posture in beds "curled up."
8. Lighting is far better.
9. Black on white is always crisper than grey on grey.
