    Sure, everybody reads books and newspapers in a computer screen. Also, a computer screen may have 96 dpi (17 inch LCD, thanks for asking) but it "fools" my eyes into having more than that by antialiasing text with subpixel rendering, takes lots of color matching in the process (what Microsoft calls ClearType). I doubt that would happen with a 4-shades-of-gray epaper, and THAT is why a printed fax looks so awful.

    As long as people like yourself read more, and attempt to become literate, I don't care if it's paper, electronic, or on the back of a cow. The word is "truly".
