It hurts my eyes. I would simply give up on trying to read a whole book in it.
ETA I think this is nonsense:
Quote:
Jonah Lehrer is a neuroscience writer and a contributing editor to Wired Magazine. He fears that e-readers, with their crisp fonts and clear display, could make our brains lazy.
"I do worry that it will become so easy for the brain to read on an e-reader that we may actually start to see a decrease in what we remember and take away from a book," Mr Lehrer told ABC Radio National.
"This is all just speculation, but what really interests me is this surprising link between the difficulty of reading and what we actually remember from it."

I haven't noticed that e-books have clearer display than any but the cheapest pulp fiction. A lot of more expensive dt books have beautiful layout and typography. There are plenty of gripes here at MR about poorly produced ebooks peppered with typos.
