Using electronic books

watchBeing lucky enough to have well-prepared Gutenberg.org volumes for a 170-gram reader, I use this medium more and more often for reading. I don't claim to prefer it to a conventional book, but in some circumstances it's much more convenient. On the plane a few days ago, I realized something obvious: after reading for some time, there's no fatigue of the hand nor of the wrist, which one had nevertheless got used to bearing in such uncomfortable conditions; and one enjoys much more freedom of choice of positions. It's really very pleasant.
