I screened Hemingway's ''Old Man and the Sea'' last night on my Kindle.

I'm screening Hemingway's ''Old Man and the Sea'' right now on my Kindle.

I'll screen Hemingway's ''Old Man and the Sea'' on my Kindle this weekend.

I could have screened Hemingway's ''Old Man and the Sea'' last night on my Kindle, but I didn't have time.

I prefer screening Hemingway's ''Old Man and the Sea'' on my Kindle than reading it in the paper edition. I just prefer screeing books these days.

Boston Globe headline, June 19, 2009: "I screen, you screen, we all screen" (column by Alex Beam on paper books and e-books)

I still enjoy reading a good book printed on paper, but I feel that the screen is also very inviting, comfortable, adjustable, convenient, magical. I think I'm done with paper books for now.

"Screening" is the new "reading."

"Reading on paper is going the way of the dodo. Screening on a Kindle or a nook is the future. Everyone will get used to it, you'll see. The 21st Century is the Screen Age." -- overheard at a watercooler in Manhattan on November 15, 2009.
