...notoriously difficult to read large amounts of text on an electronic screen, so the Reader comes with a gentle, matte display that doesn't glow or flicker.

After all, the religious conservatives have never been comfortable with the thrice-married, gay-tolerant former mayor of New York City. In that respect, he is calculating he had a lot to gain from a display of backbone and relatively little to lose...
