No thinking about battery. No eye strain. Just the right size, weight and a good grip. And foremost: no temptations besides other books. Feels just like a book.
funny thing is that my smartphone remains in my pocket while I'm reading and I feel no temptation to reach for it, aside perhaps to answer email or to choose another song.  |
Cool. I solve the battery problem with a charger at work should it drop too low if I forget to charge it over night, but I could easily use it for two days without charging.
For me the wrapper doesn't matter so long as I'm able to read my books. The bottom line, eink readers are going anywhere anytime soon but neither are tablets/smartphones.
So all you worry warts need to take a pill and relax. Read on whatever you like. There is no right or wrong choice when it comes to reading our books now.
