Or my desktop. I spend all day staring at computers and reading a paper book is where it's at. Besides I like to read as I go to sleep or while lying down and a laptop just doesn't cut it. I might get into ebooks if I had something like an Amazon Kindle, though I do have a problem paying the same amount (or more) for an ebook compared with something printed. I just love the feel of paper (that and e-stuff has no printing costs). I got the books myself but I can’t stand reading them on my laptop. Or my desktop.

I like the 2-page continuous layout in OS X's Preview application, but in all honesty, once I get into a book, I don't really pay attention to the words, pages, etc. I do tend to like regular books with physical pages to turn better, but I got used to ebooks a couple years ago too, probably from reading so many websites :) I don’t know, actually.

How do you do it? It’s way too hard to read books on the computer. How do you do it?
