Well, "ergonomically" was really the wrong word - about the only place I never
read a book is in front of the computer (except for IT reference). I guess
reading a book on something like a Palm might be okay, but I think I'd miss the
tactile quality of a paperback. Bottom line, most places I read books are not
really suitable, in terms of comfort or convenience, for a monitor.
