In case it was not clear, the part of my post following the word "also" only refers to reading pdfs on a desktop/laptop/pad computer screen.
The reasons why, before the "also", I stated "I don't own an ereader and don't plan to get one." are not stated. They are:
I tried a Kindle and found the user interface difficult, the speed slow, and did not like the markup options. The battery stuff is also an issue, as is the cost. I can't read 100 books at once so there is no point to being able to carry 100 books with me.
Hard copies are so much better for me there's no comparison.
Didn't mean to get into a discussion of preferences or technology, nor is this expanded comment meant to reflect in any way on what works for other people who obviously have different values and interests.
I was starting my previous comment with the preamble to briefly give some background to my claim that I own many printed books but no ebooks. This was because I wanted to establish I have no personal motivation or interest in whether ebooks are available of her work or not. The motivation of the comment was a criticism of elements of her article, such as comparing herself to a potentially best-selling author.
