the main reason the ereader works for me is the ability to override pretty much every aspect of the text. I can do most non glossy paper and text but some books and especially textbooks are a real bitch and everyone thought I was just making shit up when I was in school. text size is usually ok but I tend to make it bigger so I dont need glasses
its 16, or was when I was 16, here in canada, but I didnt get mine until I kinda had no choice at 21 when the only worthwhile work was far away. If we had the infrastructure to do it safely I totally would have just biked, but it was a long haul highway with rockslide cliff on the right, deep salt water and rocks on the left with no median or separator and barely even a shoulder before the ditch.
