That's why I like using my eBook (hand held electronic book device). I download text files or html files to it, and I can page through the file a screen at a time very rapidly without having to physically turn pages - yechh! Photreading in the 21st Century. I dunno why I'm the only one who does that...
Anyway, you can do the same thing on your laptop or desktop computer. It's great for reading your email or notes a few minutes before that important meeting. Especially when you have to read those boring computer manuals! A lot of new technical books come out with a CD in the back that contains the contents of the book in html or pdf format. I'm just interested in that CD and just toss the book.
