Yep. I would totally buy an e-reader, but i get massive headache reading on a screen for extended periods of time - either LCD or CRT. I can do anything else without issue (my work is 90% in front of an LCD monitor) but reading i'm sticking with old-school.

Here's an interesting link tho, we have one of these at work - and it works very well - its a non-light driven screen from Sony. They never made it available in the states (and if memory serves it was 500 bucks)

It uses a tecnology called e-ink that is kind of a super-advanced Magna Doodle, where it pulls and pushes black and white particles backwards and forwards to make an image.....
