My preferred format is Mobibook, and I convert all my titles to that format using Calibre. I choose 19pt type, with full page justification.
With this reader I find my reading is almost always better and more satisfying than reading paper.

My earlier posting (above) can be inferred to question The New Yorker's finding of the Kindle EInk screen too "gray" for comfortable reading. As I earlier stated, I had not found this to be so. My wife and I are now in London (from Seattle) visiting our daughter and granddaughter, and I proudly showed my BeBook to my daughter, thinking it might interest her, she being an avid book reader. She rejected it, finding the screen too gray! Everything's very much "in the eye of the beholder."
