So, slightly OT--those of you who carry a device for audio books AND one for ebooks--does that mean you have more than one book going at the same time? And you just pick and decide which one to continue with depending on where you are or what you are doing?

Just curious. I RARELY listen to audio books, but I saw a lot of mention of them in the thread.

Yes and yes. I have no problem reading/listening to several books concurrently. It's no different than watching several TV series concurrently. With books, I find it just as easy to pick up where I left off. Though I generally only do one at time.

It's the same for me. I tend to read a couple of chapters (or listen for a couple of hours, if it's an audiobook,) and then pick a different ebook depending on what I'm currently in the mood for. I generally always finish each ebook I'm reading eventually.

I carry my iPhone and Kobo Mini everywhere. That way I have my books on my mini and audio books on my phone.

I am usually reading different ebooks and audiobooks. I did read the same one simultaneously this summer, but that is rare for me.

I sometimes carry my iPad with me, but only if I feel like I'll need it.

I always have at least two books going at the same time. One on my Clip Zip and one on my PW1. Sometimes on the PW1 will take a break on one book and read another then go back to the original one. I can have several books going at one time, but usually it's only the two, the Clip Zip and the PW1.

In answer to the question of this thread, I always have my PW1, my Clip Zip and my Samsung S3 when I leave the house for any reason, except to take my dog for a walk, then I leave the PW1 at home.

If I am going to be gone overnight I will add in my tablet and netbook. Well, guess that doesn't even have to be overnight! Last Saturday I went to my DD's house to babysit 3 grandkids for several hours. I took everything!
