I print them out as large as will fit on a sheet of paper. Then it throw away when I am finished and it is all goobered up with greasy fingerprints and wine stains.

I agree with joykins If I used one I would rather use paper as wouldn't want dough,water batter on my E-reader. With the exception of the grand daddy of all E-readers....The Kindle DX That might be big enough to have a whole page displayed so you wouldn't have to flip pages.

That's the way I cook green beans. I always make sure they are cooked long enough to have no nutritional value. We consider them junk food around here and it's one of our favorite foods. We buy industrial size cans of them.

Back to the poll:

I love having my cookbooks and recipes on my Kindle. While I don't use it in the kitchen, I do use it at the grocery store for ingredient lists.

It's also nice to have recipes with me to give people who may want one at a get togethers. Yes, women really do this...

There's nothing worse than cutting into your asparagus and seeing pink.

LOL... nothing like 'cooked' food.

When I cut into prime rib, the center had better be brown or it goes back.

That is how my daughters make vegtables. I never thought of calling them "rare" but you bet I will next time. I love it!
It must be a generational thing to overcook veggies. Older adults learned to just make food taste good. Today's younger adults learned to make food nutritional.

I'd nuked the asparagus for a full two minutes!

I was raised on frozen green beans, but couldn't bring myself to cook them at home - even if they were giving away the boxes for free! I get frozen brussell-sprouts-in-butter instead.

I've seen that advertised and I wondered if it was worth the price. Seems a bit expensive. Just looking at the picture, though, tells me that the font would not be large enough for me to read when passing it by on the counter, which would mean having to turn pages in it to follow the recipe.

I've never tried making something using a recipe on my ereader, so I can't really participate in the poll. I have most of my mother's recipes in a small binder which opens flat, so that's no problem to use. Although I have a whole shelf and a half of cookbooks, I don't use them all that often, so it's no big deal to read a recipe out of one when I want to cook.

Re the overcooking of vegetables topic, I think the scariest cooking term is "al dente". Thank God I grew up in the pre-nutrition days; imagine trying to swallow a disliked vegetable now with a sip of milk - it would get stuck in my throat instead of just washing right down.

I find the iPad convenient enough to use all over the house including the kitchen. I've occasionaly had a few oil spatters or similar but glass cleans up OK.
But I wouldn't have it in the kitchen when my wife cooks. She thinks the smoke alarm is a timer.

my mom couldn't cook. She also depended on the smoke alarm, but then she would fling the flaming pan out the backdoor. If we heard the smoke alarm, that was our signal to get off the swing set.

Next day, she would be out there with a steel brush and the hose pipe "doing the dishes.".

Just think of the stories mothers will be telling their daughters in the future about their grandma's recipes:

"Honey this .epub file was given to your grandmother by her mother who then forwarded it to me. Now I am forwarding it to you and please, don't share it with your friends on FaceSpace. Now let me tell you how the encryption works..."
