Emphasis above mine - That's exactly what I read, novels. And I'm finding that I much prefer reading them on my netbook screen (aka computer monitor). The issue for me was never LCD vs. e-ink, it's always been that I just didn't want to be tied to my desk chair.

I realize I'm an oddball in lots of ways, though, so I'm sure I'm not an indicator of the general feelings on the matter.
