Changing a page on iPod Touch is just a tap of finger on the screen, not a harder press like on the e-ink readers. Really no effort at all to flip pages. I also have a large font on screen and have about two sentences on one page, but as I mentioned earlier, why woudl I want to have twenty sentences on one page?

BCGIRL, people have had the need to have light in order to read their books so why now a sudden change? I find it very hard on eyes to read from my iPod Touch in darkness and if I turn down the light intensity of the screen, also the contrast suffers making it harder to read.

Both have strengths and weaknesses, but if I could choose/would have money I would get e-ink reader in a heartbeat.
