For the photographs, there are some that I would rather have available on a screen. On a screen, I can zoom in on the image and see detail that I would miss. On paper, I could do this, but I would have to have a magnifying glass.

Note that I'm not talking about using a 6 inch e-ink reader for images, but an LCD tablet of some kind, or even a computer monitor.
