[Quiet Man Cometh]

I have a Sony eReader though I haven't used it extensively yet. There isn't a backlight, I have a case for it that includes a booklight which is apparently highly recommended by other people who have them. It was a Christmas gift last years. I do like the screen so far. I wear glasses (near sighted) and the computer and I do not get along when it comes to online reading. I haven't noticed any eye issues with the reader so far but I'll need to give if a thorough go before makeing any definite judgement calls.

I have been enjoying the cheaper books though. For the most part I find they really are only a couple dollars off the bookstore price and a bookstore sale can still be cheaper, but some of the harder to find classes like the Knut Hamsen collection I picked up are much cheaper than in book form. The collection I bought was $4, while the one book I saw in the store was around $14. I find I use the reader to explore new authors and if I like them, I look more into getting actual books. It's also handy for classics that I likely wont reference enough to really want on my shelf.
