What I've tended to do this year, Kenny, is to read for fun only on my 505. So there's a distinct line between that and 'work reads' on the big screen or in hard copy. I know now when I'm supposed to be enjoying myself. And it's somehow less painful to delete a book from the reader than it is to throw away a treebook.
Something I have found with the reader (perhaps you have, too, as a writer) is that I'm so used to the eccentric layout of most raw manuscripts that the hiccups with formatting that get on the nerves of others here don't bother me a jot. Non-justification, the missing paragraph break, the occasional word mangle or line widow sail right by me on the reader -- I can just settle down to a job prepared by someone else. Chefs maybe feel the same way when they eat out.
