Right now I am reading a lot of books by Japanese authors on the war, including first hand experiences. There is no way I could understand the view from both sides without reading it in Japanese.
Being a chikatetsu reader, do you really read ebooks on the subway?

Unfortunately, My Japanese is not at your level yet. I read simple texts as I work on improving my Kanji. Yes I read on the Metro when I am not taking my mountain bike to work. I use my Sony 505 on the road (biking and subway). I use the Cybook at home. And being in Japan foreign books are expensive..So having 19th Century French and English Novels to read for free helps cut down on the expenses.... for example....
