LCD sucks because it gives eyestrain over longer reading sessions. ePaper is better with much higher contrast, not unlike paper, hence the name. That said, I don't read much longer than a magazine article these days. So LCD is mostly fine for me. I would like to have an ePaper screen, but I'm not willing to give up ownership of my reading material, so no Kindle for me. > Of course, the skools are even more conservative, even bordering on > reactionary. Electronic textbooks really cut into the textbook > vendors profits. Nonsense. Electronic media *increases* profits due to lower production costs. One thing that caught my attention when reading about the differences is the idea of connecting emotionally with a book. I realized that I have done this. The act of picking up a book to read creates a strong association between a book and its contents. This doesn't happen with ebooks because the reader is connected to so many other books and if the reader is a laptop, so many other tasks. -- Rick C Viewed the eclipse at Wintercrest Farms, on the centerline of totality since 1998 |
