I would never read books on a laptop screen, it would kill my eyes.

Whether a Kindle is a worthy investment is a personal choice (for most folks, I say just buy books).

I would likely not buy a $400 laptop either, FWIW

I just bought an anti glare thing off ebay that you hook over a monitor. Could be a gimmick, but -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 09:43 1
- bah, I have to do something because the way it is now it'd cut the eyes out of you. -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 09:44
ehh, I read ebooks on my laptop as well, no issues for me. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 30, 09:42 4
- My vision gets markedly worse every year (partially) due to being on the computer all day. - ty97 Jan 30, 09:43 3
  - your eyes do *not* get worse from being on a computer -- nm - zork Jan 30, 09:45 2
    - yes it does. Constant computer usage can cause the muscles used to focus the eyes to become less effective -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 09:48
    - it is the strain... -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 30, 09:48
didn't think I would like it but reading on a Palm is fine, plus you can use it for other things -- nm - zork Jan 30, 09:42
