Amateur? Glad to be one and smell the roses from time to time... Thanks all who recommended. Kell, I may try out the Sony just to see, but have to agree with Severnlad. Sad day when the old-fashioned book becomes obsolete.

Reading Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane -- good and has value beyond quality of writing, though not my fav. Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas Moby Dick - Herman Melville Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien

Looking for serious recommendations on e-readers. I've read some of the posts, but am squeamish about buying another electronic gadget that I'll find myself staring at it's screen for hours and hours. I travel A LOT, so I'm tempted by something light and thin that won't burst my carry-on. But I'm already going blind from 12 hour days of staring at a computer screen!!! Are these e-readers any different than a laptop screen???
