It's pretty much good for reading books. I didn't think I would like them either, but it's different than I expected. And I can take along enough reading material for two weeks in Germany without weighing down my suitcase with books. That's what it's good for! :)
Just to be clear, it will NEVER replace books for me. But it has its moments where it's useful, and for that I'm thankful. And the fact that I didn't have to pay for it makes it all the better. :)
good point. 'free' always makes things better. i guess if i used one i might think better of them, but i hate reading off a screen... at least, every screen i've had to read off so far. and i might not mind using one, but not buying one. so you have the best situation around for that. ;)
This screen really is different - it really does look like ink on a page. Nothing like a computer screen. It doesn't have glare, doesn't hurt the eyes. I haven't really used it to do any major reading yet, though, so I'll let you know what I think after I use it more.
I am a believer in Jesus Christ, mother to my fur-baby Brodie, middle school Bible teacher and Registrar, scrapbooker, musician, amateur photographer, and much more.

blech. i'd still rather take the heavy books. i'm just not sold. but i'm glad it's useful for you, and that you like it. =)
