So I recently got a hankering to re-read A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth. I was poised to buy an ebook version when, lo and behold, I realized there was no ebook version to be had. Too bad, because the book is a brick!

So I'm reading the pbook in bed, with my nice, ultrabright reading lamp, and the page is so white, it is hurting my eyes! I'm so used to that nice, restful gray screen, that I no longer enjoy reading on paper (OK, not strictly true, I just need a light that's not so bright). I found this so funny and ironic, I had to post.

I also gave myself indigestion by resting that incredibly large and heavy book on my stomach while reading. When can we expect an ebook version of this book? I actually considered sending it to 1dollarscan, but a pdf version would do me no good (would be completely unreadable on my 5" PRS-350 screen).
