Is it easy to read complete novels and such on a computer?
I haven't read a novel in some time but I know I would prefer not to read one on screen.
That would kind of suck.

I've found great E-books on the internet, but I just don't know if I'd be able to read them easily on my computer or not.
E-books are best read when you read a little text where there's a good bit of of stimulating local processing, then do something else for a moment, then come back and read again, etc.
And of course math or science oriented texts are the best examples of these kinds of things
This one is working very very well for me minus a few inconsistencies with the current Lisp standard

By the way, do any of you guys have any recommendations for software to use to view E-books? Right now I just have Foxit-Reader, Notepad ++, Openoffice and Microsoft Reader for viewing E-books.
Software is not the issue, format and typesetting are
PDF, Postscript, and DVI are the very best formats, but they're not much good when the typesetting is poor
Find documents written in LaTeX if you can, its output in any three of those formats almost always reads beautifully on screens and in print
