But do I miss books? It's hard to say. I've sat in front of a terminal/computer for so long that books make my arms tired and the pages always flip back up at me. I *do* like books with spiral binding though - they lay flat. I guess the ergonomics of book reading is what always bugged me. Computers have their own ergonomic issues as well but a proper chair can solve that. Smartphones with their high resolution have successfully allowed in-bed reading, which has been marvelous progress; I've read short books on my iphone without issue.
