You won't believe the difference, reading on an e-ink screen and a computer. Its like reading a paper book.......no eye strain.
We have many many books here, free for the downloading, so I"m sure you'll find something to suit you. You might also check out the thread 'reading recommendations'.
enjoy your stay! Oh, and where are you from? Inquiring minds want to know........
