I do not read on my desktop or laptop. I prefer to be comfortable when I read. The desktop isn't very mobile. The tower weighs 43 lbs. empty. That said I read on my surface pro. I have calibre installed and if I need to look anything up, I can do it on the Surface Pro. I don't normally look things up when reading though. I am so immersed in the books I read that I am unaware of anything else. Ask my wife. She tends to get irritated when I don't respond to her questions.
