I have been using the Iriver Story HD again, although the device has been freezing, flipping pages the wrong way, skipping pages etc.

I am also struggling with worsening arm injuries, despite getting a lower table, smaller chair, propping my keyboard at an angle so I don't have to twist my good arm as much, etc.

Are e-readers really any ergonomically better than computers? I guess they can't be worse. Are some e-readers ergonomically better than others? Especially given that I can't handle touchscreens, or flashing/sheering/zooming effects.

P.S. I suspect that side buttons, like on old Kindles, and on the e653, might work better than the awkward bottom button, like on the Story Hd. I don't know which devices I can side-load my own books onto, load Adobe books onto, etc.

P.P.S. I would like the ability to read djvus but would be satisfied with the ability to reliably read pdfs and epubs, and good performance, and good ergonomics.
