  -> ...or perhaps even "fun on-screen reading." ;-) Thank you, Writeaway. :-)
agree  Mandy Williams: Prefer your first suggestion
11 mins
  -> I do too. Thank you, MW. :-)
agree  vic voskuil: Maybe just ´Screen Reading Fun´.....otherwise it´s difficult to avoid a long sentence...(´Literary enjoyment in front of the monitor....´) ps. the ´am´ is sort of included in the reading bit, unless a telescope is being used :-)

  -> I'm not so sure about "screen reading fun" - it would be missing the "am" (IMHO). But thank you, Vic. :-) // Fair enough; Google does provide some support for your arguments. :-)
