How convenient are handhelds to read E-books ? Specially in terms of eye strain and power lasting etc., ?
Reading E-Books from a desktop is strainful, specially if one is at the PC at work all day.
FWIW, I have e-books on the PC, the Palm Tungsten E PDA and the RocketBook e-book reader. I have a lot of eye strain with both the PC and the PDA, but I absolutely /love/ reading on the RocketBook reader. Very easy on the eyes, at least for me, and a convenient size. In fact, I also got it free by joining one of those 2-books-per-month for $19.95 deals where they throw the reader in gratis. Turned out to be a good deal for me, but of course YMMV. (I added a $20 256MB SmartCard and I can't imagine wanting/needing more storage, really.) -- Chuck MATTSEN / mattsen at arvig dot net / Mahnomen, MN, USA MT Lookup: http://eot.com/~mattsen/mtsearch.htm Mandriva Linux release 2006.0 (Cooker) for i586 kernel 2.6.11-8mdk-i686-up-4GB / RLU #346519 Random Thought/Quote For This Message: Society prepares the crime; the criminal commits it.
