Why are you setting aside pbooks? My reader weighs a few ounces. A hardback weighs a few pounds and never has to be put away. I know. They need to strap our hands to our knees and immobilize us in our seats. Then there's no chance that we might spill hot coffee, trip over each others feet, or have heavy books in our hands that could become projectiles.
