I love paper books, but as I get older, I appreciate my Kindle more - no
more needing to find the right place with the right lighting.

Especially since most of reading tends to used SF and mystery paperbacks
- yellowing paper a faded ink is a low-contrast combination.

I've resorted in some cases to downloading an eBook, buying the paper
copy and claiming fair use.   :|
