    Ergonomically?!?! I have a -much- better posture and can read for
a -much- longer time when I set up here to read something as compared to a
book. Books require odd positioning, props and pillows, arms that fall
asleep, weird lights that hang off the bedposts on little cranes....

    Give me a large screen and an arm rest anytime.

    O course, my lovely wife hates it when I bring the large screen to bed
with me so I won't be going full e-book any time soon.
