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.  |
Don't know about Steve, but I use my laptop in bed all the time, mostly for browsing forums and tech blogs. Before I got an iPhone and found FLAG, I used to read fanfiction until the wee hours on my laptop. Prior to acquiring a Viliv X70, I also did most of my manga reading on the laptop. Surprisingly, I've only dropped the laptop around 3 or 4 times when I fell asleep while reading. Aside from the potential eyestrain and heat issues if it's sitting directly on your lap, I don't see how reading on a laptop can be any less comfy than reading on an e-ink device.
