Its a cool feel to read from paper no electronic screens can give that pleasure. So still sticking with Laser Printers.

Also the e-book readers are priced around $300.

Agree 100% with you that cannot be comfy with e-Screens.
Have no expirience of eBook readers but have noticed for me personally that while reading a bit heavy stuff I need to re-read a line or two again. Maybe just skip back a page to re-read.
And while reading lighter stuff prefer lying down, changing postures or the angle of the Pillow while still holding the Book.

Alex, Feel maybe same as that of a book
BUT
Just gut my feeling, (and the view may change after using the Gadget,) reading a book is very different from 'listening' a book!!!! and that too in some alien voice, accent, and pronunciation!!!!

Books to me seem excellent for listening (through a iPod) while doing morning walk or while travelling, but in such cases has to be appropriate material to listen to!!!!

big fan of audio book sir, but yes appropriate material is an issue, i mean i cant fathom a single bit if i try to listen the book Mind Over Markets
Please give a try to s/w 'text to speech maker', it cant match the quality of human reader but when eyes r tired and u so badly want to read some ayaz memon article or cricinfo bulletin it comes for rescue, its million times better than adobe reader's read it loud function
p.s. one good point of audio books is it drives you in to such a rhythm that those words stick with you for life time.
