Richard,

This is an interesting point, but it may have a psychological edge - or an emotional one.

Like most today, I assume the computer has to do with work, including all its frustrations! Reading on the Kindle, on the other hand, is immersing yourself in your love of books.

And even if you are reading to assess many of those books the use of the Kindle is quite separate from the use of the computer. Someone else suggested that those who expect a bad experience will have one; might it also be true that those who expect a good experience get that?
