This self-righteous, martyr complex gets old. And I don't like "politically correct" groupthink.

Here's Wirecutter on "Why you shouldn’t just read ebooks on a tablet"

I'm shocked an offended! Whom can I attack!?
Jeff Bezos even talked about the glare of the screen on a computer when they were bringing out the 1st generation Kindles. He stated that it was like trying to read with a flashlight shining in your face, and that if you have something on a computer that you want to read most people print it out so as to avoid that glare. (That was the interview with Charlie Rose some yrs back )
