I used to be fairly loyal to e-ink. Actually very loyal, as in the idea of LCD leisure reading was distasteful. A few months ago I was a given an iPad Mini (2, I think) for work and I just looked up and realized my Kindle is on a shelf with a layer of dust and a dead battery.

It wasn't deliberate. I just carry the iPad around for work and so began throwing books on it for convenience, not to replace the Kindle(4). Next thing ya know I'm doing all my reading on it. I use a pair of amber computer-reading glasses and like the effect.

I still prefer e-ink, second to paper, and this was likely temporary while the iPad is a novelty, but it's not as bad as I previously felt, especially with a matte screen protector and some creative Marvin coloring.

Also I recently began to understand why people like Proust. Or why I do.

Just some Sunday rambling. Hope everyone is well. Really, I mean that. Also I really love energy drinks. I think I may be able to move the can with my mind if I try hard enough.
