A friend tells me:

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

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.''
