Here, I have to respectively disagree.
One of my favorite places to read books is while lieing in bed. I can't
imagine doing it with my computer. Even when they come out with a
paperback size book, I might not be as interested, because I love
highlighting and putting in paper bookmarks, and though I can do the
same thing with a computer, it's not the same thing.
Yes, I do enjoy reading some things on the computer ... for example I
got a free subscription to a computer magazine that comes online, and I
do enjoy scanning through it. I don't think I'd enjoy it as much in
print because I'd be tempted to lay it aside for later, then later would
never come.
