There is a time and place for everything. Sometimes an iPad or tablet is great, other times a good book or magazine is great. Does anyone else subscribe to HTM?

Not sure I get this analogy: 1. I hope I never have to look at a person on a throne using their IPAD. 2. Does a person holding a book or Magazine look more intelligent while on a throne? At least I can sanitize my Ipad when I am done, book not so much, just ask George from Seinfeld As for the comment about screen hurting their eyes, after a while of reading, I fully understand that: Kindle gives you the option to change the background to ease the pain on the ipad The Kindle reader new E-ink is no worse than a book, and what book lets you change the size of a font to make it easier to read, or give you the option to use text to voice on a book?

My personal favorite is when I go into a stall at work and find either a coffee cup or a twinky wrapper. Seriously, I've seen both before!

One time I went into a stall to fine it near overflowing with.......well you know and TP, but at least whomever it was wrote "I'm sorry" above the toilet. What it was written in is another story.........

You don't have to buy a device, because you probably already have one that will work with it Don't you already have a tablet or cell phone, both can use the Amazon Kindle App. I use my Ipad more than my kindle? Click to expand... I will get some type of reader eventually, and I do have a Galaxy S3. The screen is smaller than a paperback book though. So I'd like something at least as big as the book I'm replacing. Turning pagers with a book is a hassle, it breaks the mood / concentration. I hate moving to turn a page. That aspect of a reader is a good selling point for me. What about glare when reading outside?

Even with a matte screen protector (anti-glare) it's still pretty bad. However, I've borrowed a friends kindle with paper white (?) before and it actually did really well in the bright sun. Without sunglasses it looked better than a book with white pages (IMO). Reactions: Rickster71
