> I don't know if you have one of those cell phones that can run an ereader. But you don't need to buy a separate gadget to read electronic books anymore. They'll run on a number of portable devices, and google books has a lot of books you can download for free. Older ones of course, but there are lots of good books old enough to have run out of copyright. Plus newer ones for reasonably good prices. Fiction and nonfiction.
at home I have a tablet notebook which is very good to read pdf files. nevertheless it isn't really the solution to read very long documents. There still is the screen frequency of 60 Hertz that makes the eyes tired. I don't know if these new multitouch screens on mobile devices do still have the frequency issue (?)
