I can mostly agree with that, and I do very little other than that ... pretty rare actually to use Wikipedia even.

With my Tablet, it is a different story, but that's pretty normal.

Like I've said though, emulating normal physical books, for me, is also important ... I guess old habits (some 50 years) just die hard ... and artwork should have a chance to be appreciated.

While I've always liked tech and been interested in an ereader, I didn't get one until the Kindle Keyboard came out on special in AUS ... probably a year or so after its USA release. A friend bought one, and it impressed me enough.

That was sometime after my join date here ... couple of years probably at least. I'd been checking ereaders out for years, but none had been good enough until then ... the sturdy cover and built-in light being important aspects too. I'd read a lot about broken screens. All my Kindles and Tablets have very sturdy covers ... tough but cushioned as well ... I have a high bed.
