#4 I used to think the same, but did get a Kindle. It took a while to get over the feeling that I was working with "a device", but I persevered and now I don't even notice it - I just get lost in the words and stories of a hundred thousand books.
#2 This is a serious issue, imo. With analog buttons, you could feel that you were touching them, and barely had to glance, but with touchscreens, you have to take your eyes off the road to make sure your hitting the right spot on the screen. It's almost as dangerous as texting.
#4 I felt the same way until I started reading on an IPad. I can adjust the font type, font size, and screen brightness to suit my needs. I would prefer to read a real book but my IPad makes it easier and a nicer experience.

#19 the reason of read/seen is to be sure that there is no connection error, which is quite common especially on mobile net.
#9 Agreed, but if the digital music has been compressed, it won’t sound as good.
