Where as I've pretty much stopped using my eInk devices except for certain things in favor of a high ppi tablet where I can customize things better, manage my entire library better and with the brightness set properly can read with joy for hours at a time. To each their own I say.
I am curious as to what makes one a "true reader". I know one guy in my old office building who reads about 50 books a year on his tiny iPhone 4s screen. Not something I could do, but it doesn't make him less of a reader. I know many here read more than 50 books a year, I do, but I think anyone who reads that much is not a casual reader.
