Howdy again folks. Well both are true for me actually. As I type this, I can streth my pointer finger and thumb and touch the screen and my nose. That is how close I am sitting to a 22 inch computer monitor. I have no real depth perception and my eye condition that I was born with is called Optic Atrophy. What means in english is that my eyes are good and the brain is good (I sometimes disagree because I have to live with me), but the patch cable between them is not. Therefor the detail is just not there. What that means to me is that if print is too small, I can not see it. If it is too large it starts to jump/move around on me. There is a sweet spot that I have to find and I usually do. I have limited field of vision so on a computer for example a larger 27 inch screen would be a waste. A smaller screen and you have to scroll too much with larger text to make reading enjoyable. Thus I read far more on my iPad than say a smartphone. For me simple, clean, and basic work best most of the time. For me the frills and "wow" features that appeal to many ereader buyers normally make things worse for me. I like feel and tactile things....which stinks in the eink ereader world because many now do not have page turn buttons like the older models did.
