Its good to see you around too, Justin.

Try the inverted thing and see if white text on black background is easier on your eyes. The way its set up is you triple click the home button and it switches instantly back and forth.

Thanks for the tip Albert! Be default Triple-Click-Home was turned off on my phone but simple to turn on under settings and set it to invert colors.

Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple Click > Invert Colors

Forget reading, just Inverting the colors is bada$$ enough....thanks :banger

Re: Books on iPhone 4S

I read several books on my iPhone as a test of whether or not I would enjoy reading electronically (I hate reading PDF's on screen at work) before buying an iPad. That was the better part of 2 years ago, and I haven't read a physical book since. I bought both my wife and I iPad 2's when they were released and then upgraded to the iPad 3 this year. We basically went through our bookcases, downloaded everything we wanted to keep and donated the physical books to charity. I can't imagine reading on a small screen like the iPhone but I also can't imagine reading on anything other than a tablet.

Besides, it saves the environment a wee bit ;) Instead of printing off all those several hundred page technical PDF's like I used to at work I just put them on the iPad instead...
