This happens independently from your reading habits and screen technology. Perhaps those things could make it a little worse, but it would happen even if a short-sighted person would never stare at a book or screen.
After age 23, usually myopia stabilizes and sight degradation stops or at least slows down.
I don't know if other sight problems have the same behaviour, I know about myopia only because that's my own sight defect and my eye doctor explained this to me in detail.

I know. I've asked plenty of questions over the course of the last two decades and most of my eye doctors have explained it over and over in detail (as yours have) and I know my prescriptions leveled off around 3 years ago (when I was 21). And also got worse less over the years when I first made the switch from a CRT to a LCD panel some 10 years ago (was like $500 for a 15").
A thought just struck me. It would be kind of nice to have a more developed version of the pixel Qi screen on panel monitors in the future. I think off the top of my head, it has better color reproduction than TN panels.
