I guess that this proves it is time to dump the lis***e in favor of the far more common - and versatile - ebook reader!

P.S. I find that I still enjoy reading HC dead-tree books, but that I have no patience with the super-thick MMPBs as they are awkward to hold and just don't balance as well as my ebook reader (Cybook Gen3). I've never experienced thumb or finger cramps that Ahi mentions. And yes, as someone else mentioned, sometimes those big hardcovers get a bit heavy for extended reading.
