But why not compare it to a book regarding its weight or size? By that I mean that both of them are used to read (the content of) a book.
Around here on MR it's easy to find many threads comparing paper books to electronic readers. Granted it's usually along the lines of why the latter is better than the former

Sure, everyone is entitled to his own belief. On the other hand, why not listen to someone who is just trying to put things in perspective by reminding us that before the ereaders era, reading books used to be more cumbersome because of the size and weight of paper books, amongst other things?

Oh, and everyone has different needs, so different screen sizes is more than welcome, don't you think?
