It's your neck
You cannot move a laptop around like you move a book and it's probably your
neck muscles that are playing up.
Get a laptop that weighs 200 grams that you can hold up like a book and read
in weird positions and from book-like angles.
I use my Nokia 6600, which comes with a nice ebook reader - Mobipocket
that reads PDB files, but not plain text. I usually use txt2pdb to
convert the files to Palm DB format.
I used to use a Palm Tungsten device and plucker or PDBreader, but the
phone is much easier to hold. I've read some pretty lengthy books
(1000+ pages) on the phone with no side effects, but it's probably not
a good idea to stare at the screen for long intervals in low ambient
light conditions.
Has anyone used their iPods for reading a book? Would that be any better?
