i would imagine it must do?
I was thinking that initially, but then though I can't understand why. Unless you're reading bright pink on black or something.
The books on Kindle are black on white, just like a book.

suggests not.
staring at anything for long periods must cause eye strain, the smaller the area you are focusing on must increase the strain to my mind.

Interesting article. Seems to say short focus is short focus no matter what. I probably can't tell anyway as I've been staring at bright light at work for 21 years now.

crying with laughter - Bob Monkhouse biography, excellent read and a great insight into probably the best comedian of his or any other generation

Saw him live Nick. On TV he was crap but he was fantastic and so so clever with it
When you actually feel anger over a place like this it's time to get a life

I met her in the early 80's just before she died, she was opening an amusement arcade in Blackwood but even though her figure had gone she had this aura and presence, beautiful and lovely lady

any thought for most over rated books?
i read we have always lived in the castle by shirley jackson after good reviews but found it terrible.
not as bad as ghost story by peter straub though.

'It's only a movie' by Mark Kermode.
Fancied something a bit lighter, it's enjoyable so far.
