Here, I have to respectively disagree.

One of my favorite places to read books is while lieing in bed. I can't imagine doing it with my computer. Even when they come out with a paperback size book, I might not be as interested, because I love highlighting and putting in paper bookmarks, and though I can do the same thing with a computer, it's not the same thing.

Yes, I do enjoy reading some things on the computer ... for example I got a free subscription to a computer magazine that comes online, and I do enjoy scanning through it. I don't think I'd enjoy it as much in print because I'd be tempted to lay it aside for later, then later would never come.
