Is there a way I can read ebooks in my room? I don't have my own computer. I looked at Amazon's Kindle, but I can't put my own ebooks into it. Now what do you advice? There are too many pages to print.

You should spend money on something that's to your own taste, of course, but do your eyes strain reading off of a CRT screen or an LCD screen? I personally find an LCD screen like a laptop has much more comfortable to read off of than a CRT, though I know that's not true for everyone.⚛

Is there anyway that I could hack this DVD player to read ebooks? Or say I could somehow put my ebooks on DVDs in some sort of movie format so that I could "play" it as a movie and read?
[ The DVD player is an INSIGNIA 8" portable DVD player. Details : http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/967652/Insignia+portable+dvd+player+w/+8.5%22+Lcd+screen [Broken] ]
anirudh215 said:These things never get my pictures into my Zune properly. I tried adding GH Hardy's Calculus book in and I never got any of the diagrams. These JPEG files never have 'em. Isn't there any way to mod/hack that DVD player?? I am not using it at all! Its collecting dust...
