Subject: reading fanfic - tablets vs PCs
I know few people are still reading (re-reading?) fiction posted to the
various FK websites, but I wondered, for those of you who do pop in every
once in a while to read, do you do so on a laptop computer or a tablet?
For people who have tablets, would you go and read more FK fanfic if the
sites looked better on tablets?
I'm really curious. Please let me know.

I convert fanfic to MOBI format to read on my Kindle. It would be
great if there were MOBI (and ePUB) files to download.

I'm still on my desktop. Not high tech enough (or have the spare funds) to
own either. But considering how much I love my kindle reader (older model,
but hey! it works) I'd probably be on a tablet if I had one...

I am using a desk top computer to print out the FK stories. I prefer to
read everything from paper. I have too much trouble with headaches when I
read anything from a computer and or type screen. You are hearing from most
likely the last person that will be reading stories/books from paper.
Long Live FK and the Paperback Book.

Subject: Re: reading fanfic - tablets vs PCs
I prefer to read things on my tablet. The site format isn't much of an
issue unless it depends on flash. The only thing that's a drag to read is
loooooong text documents, because having e-read features like search,
chapters and bookmarks make that sustainable.
Like, remember when we were trying to figure out just what we'd done in
War 10? I was trying to find posts we'd made in the amalgamated war posts
on my iPad, which was a pain b/c I couldn't search the text.

I read fic on my phone, tablet and laptop. Mostly try tablet lately. Words
are bigger than phone and I can lay in bed. I dont really care about format
as long as the words are there. With TPP it looks exactly the same on all
devices.

Sorry that one got away from me. I neglected to say I have a color nook.
So the sites I do read from look the same on laptop as they do on the nook.
