Media Player - I prefer reading text-only novels on my iPod Touch. I do have an e-ink device (Amazon's current non-touch Kindle) which I use when I'm at home, in a well-lit room and want to read for extended periods of time without worrying about battery life, but in terms of size, weight, portability, screen clarity, eye comfort and being able to listen to music while I read, the iPod Touch has everything that I need. I think that I'm in a significant minority in that I find back-lit, high-resolution, LCD screens far easier on my eyes than e-ink. The latter fatigues me quickly.
My preference in the device types listed is as follows:
- Media Player
- E-ink Reader
- LCD Tablet
- Smartphone
- Computer
- Other (Paper)
