"Hedonic treadmill"??? Perhaps so. But I certainly notice the difference in print quality (and eyestrain!) when comparing (worst-to-best) my Sony reader, a paperback, a hardcover, and a high-end well-produced textbook. If I could have the best of those (at a reasonable price, of course) I'd love it! For now, I'd like to see eReader-ish screens improve to the level of a paperback.
It's not a "difference no one will notice," however. It's not a show-stopper. It's not a life-or-death proposition. But if eReader screens were improved to the level of typical paperback text, I would be able to read faster and longer with less eye-strain. And that would certainly be a nice thing.
