    I do. This is probably why I associate Draco664 with headaches.

    Take my advice, do this sparingly.

    I used to download whole fics to read on the bus (on my laptop), but I just read normal books now. Plus I get really paranoid using something this expensive in a public place.

    iPhone for fanfics? Nah. Hurts the eyes, plus I would get pissed off when I accidentally fast-scroll all the way up when trying to scroll down.

    DLP, however, I'm always checking on my iPhone.

    I always thought it would be aggravating to use anything like that to read fanfiction. The letters would be far too small.

    Also, and this is just a side note, has the DLP requirement for passable grammar and punctuation disappeared? Four months ago the OP would have been raped before anyone even mentioned the topic at hand.

    On the Touch/iPhone, you can zoom in. The letters are, at worst, size nine.

    And its a shame about grammar. Now that we've acknowledged that, we don't have to have a conversation about it.

    I use my iTouch for reading fanfic. Annoying when you are away from a connection so you cant go to next chapter.

    Ps. Not enough good fanfiction in HP now for me to waste cash to buy a iPhone to read fanfics with. :p

    I use my PSP a lot... More than I use my computer in fact. Just save the fics I want to read as html, make a table of contents file so I know the number for each fic, and BAM! Plenty of reading wherever I am. I also create of my DLP posts on my PSP.

    What happened to the old days, where a semi-decent PC was considered super cool and hip? The days of Windows NT and Minesweeper?

    It's a day of nostalgia when you realise you can post on forums with a Playstation....Portable thing.

    I don't have an iphone/itouch, but what I do have is a Sony ericsson walkman phone with operamini on it, as good a browser as safari, if not better, and totally free.

    I do sometimes browse a bit of fanfiction on my phone, but in general I only do it on the computer.

    The touch isn't too bad to use for the I[pd TOuch but it fucking hurts the eyes after an hour or so

    Traitors. You should all be tarred and feathered. I'll enjoy watching your cheap, 3rd party skin succumb to the searing heat and fall to the floor...

    And Yak says no one else on DLP uses Linux? Your ripe for conversion.

    Sony>Apple

    Seriously, my sony ericsson is indestructible. It's been dropped in the sea, thrown at a concrete wall and run over by a lorry and it still works perfectly. And let's not even start the PS3 vs. xbox 360 debate. >_>

    You can tell I'm not a fan of apple, can't you?

    EDIT: If I ever have to use a mac again, it'll be too soon.

    I know of quite a few people who use Linux actually. Quite a few of the IRCholes do.

    I've read the Dresden Files books on my PSP but that's it. Good for traveling.
