# It's like the iPod thing, weren't the first or even the best mp3 players around yet everything now supposedly imitates them.
I read The Count of Monte Cristo in pdf format on my PC and War and Peace on paper, reading the paper book was inexorably harder because you have to fucking hunch over for hours on end instead of laying back and reading so it's unlikely I'd use it. And what the hell is it with people reading more than one book at once? I physically don't understand why people do that.

Also is the font on them naturally fucking massive due to the low pixel resolution or is that just a crappy screenshot?

# books have chapters
TV series have episodes

it's the same principal. I can watch and follow different shows at different times. I don;t have to watch an entire series with no other input to follow the story.

and I think you meant that 'reading the PC was inexorably harder', no?

# No.
PC - Office chair, lay back, gentle scroll down the pdf document as I'm reading. Bliss.

Book - Hunch over holding it, get sore of the same position and have to move, arms ache, back hurts from being hunched. Repeat Ad Nauseum.
