I take both my Kindle and some hard copy books and magazines on my trips. Paper is also more practical for reading in the tub or on the beach on a windy day. I think it's wise never to be vulnerable to a single point of failure when it comes to keeping myself mentally engaged.
Yep. Magazines work just fine for the takeover & landings. Short form reading, and disposable.

Plus EBRs have been known to fail while you are on the road!
