   Hello Jay!

   Wrt ebooks, I would imagine that the constant light from the     
   screen would lead to eye fatigue very quickly if you wanted     
   settle down with a book for something more than occassional     
   reading.   
      
   But.. if there was an app that could emulate the e-paper     
   technology and force you to use ambient light, maybe that could     
   work better.
