I don't remember that there was any cmacermiol e-Reader in 1998, T.A.. I think Stephen King tried his experiment about that time, but you had to read it on your computer. I hated doing that. My eyes just rebel against reading very long on a monitor. I guess it's the backlight, which is why I am thankful for my Kindle and it's e-ink . I'll be around to read your post in a little while.
