An e-ink reader moment in time...

OPen cover, slide power button and start reading....

bliss....

A smartphone moment in time....

Drag out my iphone for a bit of reading.

Fire up Stanza and get stuck into an Edgar Rice Burroughs omnibus gained free from Mobileread.

Five minutes of reading....enjoyable....

Minute 6 - SMS
Minute 7 - appointment reminder
Minute 11 - email notification pop-up
Minute 13 - Angry Birds!!!
Minute 14 - incoming phone call from lady wife...

Now in contrast with me e-ink ereader, I would STILL enjoying uninterrupted reading and not dismissing distracting pop-ups and pushing the answer call button

(well I would have got the phone out for that call!)

The e-ink vs backlit LCD is another debate entirely, but my eyes love e-ink!
