That all being said, I recommend to no one to actually *read* books on a big-screen device. For reference purposes, Mobipocket Reader or the reader integrated in Calibre are marvellous. For enjoyable reading, Well, that is good if you do have a dedicated reader! I personally will not shell out no more that $ 50 for a dedicated reading device.
though, that is friendly towards your eyesight and reading comfort? You've got to go to a smaller-screen device instead, ideally a Kindle, Kindle DX, or iPad. I prefer my laptop! Still looking for a nice reading program though. can live calibre and adobe.
I want to support them, but I don't have the extra $300 for a Kindle...
Kindle does *not* cost $300, but only $139 nowadays. That's a ridiculously low price, considering how expensive the Kindle was only a few years ago.
Check : http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-DX-Wireless-Reader-3G-Global/dp/B002GYWHSQ Price at $379 or $329 for an older DX! Yes, there is a $139 kindle with just a 6" screen. Personally, I would suggest the iPad. The Kindle app is still available, was update on Valentines Day. Then again I am very bias!! regards Keith.
