Interesting topic ... given the apparent wave of devices, post-Kindle, that
are seemingly poised to move on from netbooks to allow a full media

another expert says:

''I am not sure what to say. I read on a screen almost all day long. I
enjoy my newspaper and books as well.   but doesn't now seem that
reading-on-screen is what people do for several hours, therefore not a
controversial thing? the web even is made up of "pages." the new thing
is paying for reading on screens-- bravo to amzn for proving that that
works.''
