Why? And also for people who have bad eye sight you can adjust the font. WHich is maybe why they are doing well. HE in ebook is more expensive than paperback, I don't know why, but the large print version is twenty quid!!! So maybe that's what it's about.
You knows why.
Stop being awkward.

Lol.
I can see the negatives with the ebook reader. But imagine newspapers being able to be displayed on them, download the latest editions, ect.
