I know this may sound a bit weird for some people, but with many books I prefer reading them on my desktop computer rather than an ereader?

Why? Usually because I become quite involved with the story, so in addition to having the Calibre reader open on one screen, I also have Wikipedia and Google Maps open on my second screen.

With Wikipedia I can quickly research and understand technical references. eg the book I am currently reading mentions the Fermi Paradox which I had not heard of before, but was quickly able lookup, rather than just glossing over it in the novel.

With Google Maps, I can plot and track the progress of the expedition. I can call up streetview or those 360deg images of the sites that are being described in the novel and actually see them, rather than trying to imagine them.
A good example of this is The DaVinci Code and following Robert Langdon around the sites of Rome or one of the Vince Flynn novels where Mitch Rapp is travelling through the Middle East.

This can also hold true with some close to Earth sci-fi novels - those based on one of the planets in our system or on the moon. Still using Google Maps and zooming around the solar system or viewing sites on a particular planet being described in the story.

It is also more convenient when having to fix spelling and other mistakes in the ebook.

Does anybody else do this?
