Reading e-books on a computer screen, especially for pleasure, would seem like a step back to me, not forward.  |
Well, the scenario that often presents itself to me is that I am at work, during lunch or an unscheduled break, and I want to read but my Reader is nowhere near me (if I am in between meetings, for example) or I don't want to whip it out (the Reader) and attract attention. It would be great to have the book on the computer and start reading.
