E-reader vs Laptop??

[zillka]

temporarily placed on a new client up in stamford, CT dealing with buyside goups.. take subway (15 minutes) and Metro North 45 mins - 1 hr

most nights provided car service and traffic can be HORRENDOUS (sometimes sitting for 2 hours, though not always)..

which leaves me with A LOT of reading time 99% of which is work related - training/write ups/reviews/etc..

i've been doing this via my small laptop and find it just okay, and a bit bouncy as it rests on my lap..

never had any interest in e-readers.. only thing that would make me get it is the 'paper aesthetic'.. does it REALLY look like you're reading from a legit book? the shininess of my laptop LCD is giving me a headache, even when dimmed. thanks

it looks like real paper.

yeah i read stolen pdfs too. get a kindle DX if you want guaranteed pdf compatibility, and also for the bigger screen.

amazon is coming out with a patch later this month i believe that will add full pdf functionality to the smaller kindle as well.

it looks so much like real paper that for a while in the beginning i used to reach for the upper-right corner to turn the page
