Depends on the use
For finding information then the screen wins as it is so easy to go to the bit you want.
For dipping into news, I tend to read the news on line rather than going out and buying a papar and like jumping to different papers. So again the screen wins.
I dont really read many novels but would feel a bit of a twat sitting on the train with a gadget for £200 next to someone with a £5 book (especally when the battery in my book runs out!) While I imagine it would be tiring on the eyes, on the plus side I expect you can bump up the text size if needed.
When a comparison is made with the similar revolution in music formats it does give more scope to the author of a book to publish it electronically rather than be at the mercy of a publisher.
