I read the majority of my books on a screen these days. Bryce Send a noteboard - 31/08/2009 08:29:51 AM
I find it quick, easy, and nicely portable in my particular situation. I'm at work during the night, so I have my computer with me at the hotel I work at to surf the web. Having pdf or html versions of the books I already own is a quick way for me to cart them all here and read them.

Like I said in response to Aemon's comment, the real thing I'm wondering about as far as book sales, is how heavily is piracy affecting sales?
