Hello from Ottawa

[Arthur]

Hey there,

Avid audio book fan. I've subscribed to Audible for a couple years now and find that most of my "reading" is done this way during commutes, household chores, and before bed. The audio format is great for the latter since I don't keep the wife up with a reading light. I use my Apple iPod touch for reading and use the iTired app for keeping my spot when reading in bed so that it shuts down when I nod off.

Currently listening to "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman.

Hi Arthur, isn't reading using the iPod touch hard on your eyes?

[GeekGirl]

I found reading on the iPod touch screen annoying because the screen is so darned small. I read pretty quickly and it was a pain to have to keep scrolling.

No. It was read by George Guidall. I liked his reading of it. Finished it yesterday. I'm now onto "The Unincorporated Man" by Dani Kollin and Eytan Kollin. So far, so good.

Hi Arthur, isn't reading using the iPod touch hard on your eyes?

Yes, except I really "listen". I still find myself calling that "reading". True reading on the iPad is much better... as long as you're not in bright light.

[DorothyD]

Yes, the iPad and bright light are not a good combination.
