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.
I used the eBook reader from ebookwise.com for several books, and would like to read more. Unfortunately, the contemporary selections don't meet my tastes that much, and you've gotta run MS Windows to run their application to convert PG eBooks or other plain .txt or .htm to something the reader groks. So, I'm left without a lot of good choices, and have (for now, anyway) continued my "dead trees" book-buying. But it's quite convenient, works really well for low-light situations but also for brightly lit places, goes for awhile between battery charges, and overall I like it quite a bit. -- Greg
