MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - PCs are best for e-reading, Microsoft's Ballmer says

And having to be tied to my desk chair is why I bought my EZ reader in the first place. Our office is nice, and my desk chair comfy enough, but I prefer reading snuggled on the couch with a blanket and a couple of cats, or in bed. Wonder if Steve Ballmer has tried taking his PC to bed with him to read on? Or whether he just doesn't read for pleasure?
That being said - I love the portability, but I want the whole enchilada...color, all the software, etc. which is why I'm probably buying an Archos 9 in February/March. Yes, it's overkill for just an ebook reader; but I'm sure I can find a use for everything else it does.
