Since LCD's I've enjoyed computer screens more than print. It's always clear and bright... With a book it's not as defined, and you have to make sure there are lights on, and if you move the shadows shift... I realize it's a personal preference. So I make no claim as to it being easier for everyone. But of the 8 books I've read for fun in the last month only one has been print (that was mistborn 2, as my library had it). Of the books I read for work/professionally they're all online as well (safaribooksonline.com). I really wish TOR could do something similar for all of their books-I'd gladly pay a subscription...
I wear glasses, I gave up on contacts because I usually spend 16 hours a day in front of a computer screen. Contacts only last me about 8 hours, plus the annoyance of having to put them in and take them out...
