One area that we all seem to overlook is the way we read vs. the way we view a computer screen. How many people sit in a chair and raise their head straight ahead to read? The more natural act is to look down at a book in our hand or on the desk in front of us. It may well be a generation or more before reading on a vertical screen is accepted.

The portable readers (like the Sony Reader) are able to recapture this natural (read what we have always done) environment for reading. Sure in the future the page turns will be faster, the letters will be crisper, and the graphics will be in color.
