If you were really keen, you could even read the following :-) 

QUESTION: Is it OK to read QURAN online (internet / PDF versions)? Will I get the same sawab as reading it directly from the HARD VERSION OF OUR HOLY QURAN ? Is it OK to hear the mp3 version of SURAH's which helps me memorize them easily with tajweedh. Should I have to be in state of WUDU before reading / hearing them online ? Pls clarify. 
ANSWER: In principal, wudhu is not required to listen to or to read the Quran. Wudhu is, however, a requirement to touch the Quran, unless there is a barrier such as a cloth wrapped around it. One is not required to have wudhu in order to touch a computer screen displaying the Quran as the screen acts as a barrier. 
One may make use of listening to the Quran from a mp3 player,a cd player etc. as an aid in learning Tajweed rules and in memorizing the Quran. However, they can never be a substitute for a teacher.
One gets equal rewards for the recitation of the Quran whether it is done by looking at the the Mus-haf (hard copy of the Quran) or by looking at the computer screen on which the Quran is displayed. However, one is able to achieve more reverence, humility, devotion and concentration if the Quran is recited by sitting on the floor, facing the Qiblah, freeing oneself of all distractions (including the computer) and following all other etiquettes of reciting the Quran. 
The Masha'ikh have mentioned six external and six internal rules of reverence for reading the Holy Qur'an, which are given below:
Rules of External Reverence
(1) Perform wudhu and then sit facing the qiblah in an extremely dignified manner.
(2) Do not proceed fast, but read with measure and correct pronunciation.
(3) Try to weep, even if you have to compel yourself to do so.
(4) The response to ayaat of mercy or punishment should be as explained above.
(5) Reading should be in a low voice, if insincerity is apprehended on your own part or disturbance is caused to others. Otherwise read in a loud voice.
(6) Read in a melodious voice, because there are numerous ahaadith laying emphasis on this.
Rules of Internal Reverence
(1) The heart should be full of the glory of Quran i.e. realizing how sublime it is.
(2) Bear in the heart the Loftiness, Majesty and Magnificence of Almighty Allah, Whose Revelation the Quran is.
(3) The heart should be free from distraction and doubts.
(4) Dwell upon the meanings and enjoy reading it
(5) Submit your heart to the subject-matter of the verses you are reading. For instance, on ayaat containing a message of mercy, the heart should be filled with delight. And on ayaat of chastisement, the heart should tremble with awe.
(6) The ears should be made as attentive as if Almighty Allah Himself is speaking and the reader is listening to Him. 

And Allah knows best
