I have a Kindle Paperwhite for books and use my tablet for digital trade paperbacks and the occasional Manga because the larger screen makes the pretty pictures pop more.
You have raised a good point there. And I admit that I never take more than one book with me.Hoplon said:in ones library sure, but when travelling it becomes a bind, specially if you read at a half decent speed. which is really what they are for. not for at home.0takuMetalhead said:Call me old-fashioned, but I love to just feel and read a real book.

It's almost impossible to explain how much better it feels to read off an e-ink display than the eye-burn of staring at a computer screen. I did it once and it convinced me to be a reader.RelativityMan said:Having read a few e-books off a standard LCD screen has made me take an interest in the readers, though.
