This just seems like trolling for extra website views by making another useless iPad story.

"Books still seem uncomfortable to read for hours at a time. I mean, you have to hold the thing the whole time you want to read it, and you even have to figure out fancy ways to keep it on the right page, since it keeps trying to close itself. You'd think after hundreds of years someone would have figured out this problem."

Oh wait, it isn't actually a problem. A whole 1.5 pounds? Oh no!

It's funny - I tried using an ipad and it really is uncomfortable to use after 15 or so minutes. Holding 1.5 lbs is definitely a pain for a long time -- a paperback book is typically less than a quarter of that weight.

good rewrite :)

It's getting to the point I almost want to develop a website where people can flag the article as "link-bait" and tag the url with "original source url".
