[ugh]

I read GEB on a LC display. Sure, there are trade offs — I think my reading speed is noticably slower — but my eyes just refuse to strain. I would take the advantage of having all my books in digital form over dead wood books any time. This is just a anecdote but I think there is a lesson here: the digital book reading experience doesn't have to be on par with old books in every way to win out. Being a bit worse in one respect might no matter in the long run.
