As a uni student I find my ereader really useful.
FTR I was lumping ipads in with "real" ebook readers, meaning at anything powered, as distinct from dead trees. Incidentally, regarding the kindle -- WTF does it have a screensaver for?

At most (presumably, for people embarrassed to be caught reading Austen) it ought to just blank the screen. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
