Another good point (that I just thought of). It's pretty impossible to put a paperback down while keeping it open to a particular page. (unless you break the spine, gasp!). So it's nearly impossible to try to read while eating, unless it's hand food  I always read while eating. With the reader, I just prop it up against anything convenient and read away, using the tip of a finger to turn the page.
Another great feature, you never have to hunt around for something to hold your page, or loose your place. |
When I was in university we had "the fifth food group" which was things you could eat with one hand while studying.
Plus if you're reading a very large book it can really get tiring for your hands after awhile. The paperback I'm reading right now is over 1000 pages. I have to prop it up on a pillow on my lap. The cat is not amused.
