Somewhat ironically I work in a second hand book store. The other week a customer gave us a bunch of fantasy paperbacks and suggested I read one or two before putting them on the shop shelves. I took a couple of them home, and started reading the first. It lasted about half a page before I gave up and got it from Google Books instead.
This was a fairly averaged sized paperback, but the tiny print and the weight made me realize I'd have to struggle to finish it. I'm middle-aged, near-sighted and prefer to read without glasses when possible, and have trouble with pain in my hands and arms.
It was no contest.
