If you feel forced to move from the bliss and sanctuary of paper-books to the stress and uncertainty of "computer"-reading that might be very unsettling.

True..........but if you are reading on a dedicated ebook device, the experience is only improved. You still get the "into the book" experience, plus you have no heavy volumes to hold, you can adjust the font, its automatically bookmarked for you, a dictionary is built in, and if you have issues with your hands, arms, the lightness and ease of turning pages is a huge plus.
