I have read a lot of ebooks on a lot of devices, going way back to the old Psion Series 3 in glorious low res black and white.

And, unlike many forums on the web, most readers here will have done the same.

Am I mistaken in thinking that the most modern screens are not in fact the best screen for reading an e-book?

Something happens when you up the resolution, up the brightness and refresh rate. And I don’t know what it is but something happens. If I had to read a novel on a handheld I would do it on something old – a Palm 3C or a Netbook. I would do it in preference to my Ipaq 4700 or Tungsten.

Does anyone know what I mean? Is there a real qualitative difference in “abstract reading experience quality” that is inversely proportionate to screen technology advances or is my eyesight simply getting worse?
