Sounds pretty logical. Especially for someone who travels (or
might travel) a lot. But try this background on for size: I don't travel. And when I say I don't travel, I don't mean I don't travel
much ... I mean
at all. 100 miles from my computer/bookshelf just does not compute, man. Hell, 15 miles barely computes. I got the wanderlust out of my system a long time ago. Now I (quite happily) live my life in a five-mile radius (I'd bet over 90% is within a 1 mile radius). When I leave my house, my reader almost never comes with me, 'cause I'm not going anywhere I'm going to have time to use it. Homebodies don't need back up for when they're looking for something to read away from their computer/bookshelf. Because that just doesn't ever happen.
