Most places still allow internet usage, however, and leaving open a browser with a book to glance at during breaks is VERY useful.

But, meh, you know best.
Understand your argument but don't get your point about not being able to load a CD onto phone... I've got 48GB on my phone and have a number of CDs of books, comics, music etc happily loaded...
