Yep the form factor of laptops/netbooks/desktops is awful for reading.

Just too bulky, can't curl up with them like I can with a tablet, Kindle, paper book etc.

Ergonomoics is key. My eye's are ok reading on my led back lit laptop for sure. But the ergonomics suck. And that's the main issue for me as I don't have eye issues--but I also don't read for hours and hours on end like the avid readers on here. Maybe I'd have more issues if I ever read for more than 1-2 hours a day.
