How about you get a smart phone that supports pdf / doc files and read it anyway anywhere anytime  you like. I read small pdf files with s40 reader. But it doesnt support all my books. But im sure a smart phone can.

Ahaha are you kidding? on such a small screen it'd much worse than it is on the computer.
If you want to read PDF's on the go, then there are things like tablet PC's and kindle's.

Well I had a tablet for a couple of days.
Also I read on my phone a lot but that def. sucks.
Reading is one of the things I like to do and call me old fashioned but nothing beats reading a real book.

Staring at a screen for hours in a row is just painful.
Also I like to read during breaks etc etc.

Any other suggestions.

Btw; Kulver ive downloaded that book and its on my candidate list.

Any other suggestions.

I got four

1.go to a library
2. Go to a book store
3. Buy books online and have them delivered
4.Download and Print books on paper.

AND I just wanted to say that i dont have any problem staring at a screen for hours unless its something boring .

Try keeping yourself busy computing . I had the same problem , it was painfull for me to sit in front of a computer for like an hour .but when i started using photoshop , word , excel etc and got busy teaching myself i got used to it. And now computing for hours feels like computing for minuts but i do take breaks every hour or two.

WARNING: Some people have died computing for a long time without even moving from their chair so their blood flow wasnt  possible properly . So you need to take brakes and move your mussels  to keep your work flow and  blood flow smooth.

I appreciate your typing.

Im asking for suggestions on a book.
Reading for extended periods of time on a screen sucks period.
Ive covered entire books +300 pages long reading on a screen and yes it still sucks.

I can work on a pc for hours in a row thats not the problem.

I got a better solution now, dont read at all , just listen to them, there are many TTS (text to speech)  apps available that reads texts and speak them out loud . Thats what i would do if i get tired of reading.

But if you still want hard cover books, then i got noting.
