Have you also read
How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster?
How To Read A Book A Day: The Ultimate Guide To Quickly Absorb And Retain Information by Chris Campbell?
ABC of Reading by Ezra Pound though the final segment
Treatise on Meter is poetry oriented? Or any of the other books on how to read books that have been published over the years? Even
On Writing by Stephen King teaches some useful lessons.
Over the years, I've read around 10 books on reading. Some were useful, some weren't internally consistent, some were useful mostly as proof of the theory that a bad example is as good as a good example for learning as long as you know which is which.
Edit: And I'll be damned if I know that this has to do advice on which ereader to purchase.
Edit2: (feeble attempt to get back on topic) If the electronic money is good for Amazon, several retailers on Amazon sell Kobo ereaders which may put them back in the list of potential purchases.
