Ah - in that case, I think you'd be very happy with any of the current eInk devices. They really are much easier on the eyes, because they're purely reflective, not backlight. They also don't have the depth issues of LCDs, where the text is significantly below the surface of the screen.
eReader does have as good a DRM scheme as there is (since it doesn't rely on a central server to authorise devices), but I still prefer Mobipocket. Probably because it's now so easy to strip the DRM :-)

But my eyes got all red and sore when I read for many hours on end (which happens regularly). That's why I'm inclined to try out e-Ink now and maybe convert to Mobipocket. Although I still think that eReader has the most user friendly DRM scheme (  ).
Thank you for your insights. |
