Eye strain issues aside, reading books on a screen cuts out the tactile pleasures of books--the feel of paper in your fingers, the satisfaction of turnin a page, that awesome smell of new books. A big loss IMO especially when the benefits of e-books are...what exactly? I can't imagine reading War and Peace on your Blackberry would be that much fun. <br>I know some of us get anxiety attacks whenever we have to step away from a screen, but really, it's okay to unplug sometimes.MonikaTue, 23 Jan 2007 14:00:06 -0000
