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.
I remember traveling with a library back in the 1980's. I was in a different location every day. Both driving and flying. By the time I had been out 12 to 16 weeks I had books bulging out of every piece of luggage I owned. When my suitcase got to full I would box them up and ship them home. I would have done almost anything to have en ereader back then. So, having all of my books on my Nook HD+ is a piece of cake. What's the fun of having the desire to read a book and not have it with me?
