One quick question for you, re "I have to agree that when I write things, I seem to do a better job of editing and catching faux pas when I am looking at paper rather than a computer screen"...
Why do you think that is? I experience the same thing, too. But I cannot explain it. Any ideas?

I don't have any better ideas than to fall back on the reasons cited for eInk allegedly being better than computer screens for electronic books--Perhaps the brain has to work a little harder on a backlit screen, and our reading comprehension suffers because of the distraction.
I'm old enough (same age as Madonna and Michael Jackson!) that I had firmly learned my reading habits long before I ever dreamed of reading on a computer screen. It may be that for younger people who grew up reading regularly on a screen, they don't have that issue. Anyone under 30 out there who wants to give their experience?
