@arnie: That is an important point. I use my Kindle to read classics and novels, everything that can be read from the beginning to the end. However any science or research book should not be read on Kindle. If you need to go back a few pages to look up a definition or a formula it becomes a real pain.
All my trading and finance books are printed books.
Definitely!
I can tell you that I never finished reading it because I got tired. Reading a chart comment when the chart itself is 10 Kindle pages forward, look at the chart and then go back to continue reading... what a pain.
I actually started to take screenshots of the charts and then transferred them to the PC so while reading on the Kindle I would look at the chart on the PC but that also became painful because there are a lot of charts to look at.
When I bought the printed version of Markets in Profile... boy what a difference. From that day I told myself never again I would buy a research book for the Kindle.
For every other type of book I only buy Kindle versions. It saves a lot of shelves space, less dust accumulation...

Well, yeah, but the problem is that I cannot spend too much time reading text on a white background screen.
That is one of the reasons all my charts have black background.
I spent so many hours in front of the screens that my eyes are getting more and more sensitive to bright lights.
When I have long texts to read I usually print it because I just can't stand reading on the screen.
By the way @Big Mike, have you ever thought creating a black or dark gray skin for the forum where the letters would become white, it would help a lot. There are many threads to read and I end up not reading them because my eyes start to cry. Sure many times I cry because I'm seeing someone profiting from my loss but that is another problem

May I kindly disagree?
My solution is to use a second screen. While reading on a primary device (real kindle), I just use another device (tablet/PC/smartphone) for lookup purposes. Of course, whispersync has to be disabled.
So the "real pain" transforms to "real pleasure". Search and bookmarking features even add more comfort.
