Do you print or read on line
God's Debris is an interesting example... I first read it on a Palm as part of a research study into the usability of so-called "e-books".
I then printed it out for other people to read.
Going back to it, if I can't find my printed copy (it's easier to lose a print-out than a book) I'll have a go at reading it on my computer screen, but it's hard to snuggle in bed with a 17" LCD...
But if I had a book-sized e-book (the Palm was too small,) I'd probably use it.

It depends on 'content'. God's Debris looks like it will be thought provoking, in which case I will probably print out, as I seem to focus better on hard copy - I skim read on screen.
If I'm proof-reading, then definitely hardcopy - I just find it easier to spot errors and scribble, then do the fancy shmancy on-screen post-its/change tracking if required.
au contraire, mon ami.
When it's on a stand, and has wires hanging out the back?
Maybe you've got a different concept of snuggling to me...

No one said it would be easy - especially at first - but work at it, and the rewards will come later.
here is the reward

Maybe ESG's "LCD" definition is different from the rest of us
I'm quite happy with my 15"

Love Cruella's Dancing?
Like Cuddling Di?
I've figured it out, but unfortunately it's so rude, I can only write it as "L*** C*** D***".Maybe ESG's "LCD" definition is different from the rest of us

Im sure I'd "ignor ot"
Unlike Ducasi I think a Palm screen is fine for reading books. Ive probably read around 30 or so books on my palm and have around 60 books Ive not read on it in case Im stuck somewhere. Like most people though I hate reading reams of material from a screen for too long - Palms are the way forward for now but its only a matter of time before things like this are out
Maybe it was the Palm I was using, with the original-style lo-res gray-scale screen, and no good input device to activate scrolling, which meant lots of clicking buttons or using the stylus.
I guess some of the newer ones are better. (Shame Sony stopped making Palm-compatibles, as they looked like they were heading in the right direction.)

Nice new device from Sony, basically an electronic book
One of my nice little IBM Thinkpads and myself have spent many hours cuddled up in bed and I have read a lot of books on it, both fiction and technical.
Mind you that laptop does seem to live permanetly next to the bed, think I may be an email junkie as I check mail as soon as I wake up
Yep – way too expensive, and I wonder about the contrast of that screen...Nice new device from Sony, basically an electronic book
Oh, and I want colour!
(And I want a pony!)
