I work at a computer and find it easier to continue using a screen for reading

However I do also purchase some paper books for when wanting to disconnect for a while

That's funny I also work at a computer but usually can't wait to get away from it at the end of the day.

I will say that monitors and eyeglasses have gotten really good at reducing eye strain from reading on a monitor. I remember getting a headache as a teen from the old CRTs lol
