[Quelch]

I'm considering a five inch smart-phone (phablet) for reading while commuting
Replacing my Nexus 7 and old phone
Less things to carry around and keep charged
I wear a vest when it's not too hot here in the sub-tropics
The Nexus 7 fits in the inside pocket and is in no danger of being sat on, but it's a bit heavy
A smart-phone is around 150gram while the Nexus is 400gram

The Cool-Reader app has a parchment type screen, looks like old faded yellowing paper
I find this much more restful for reading than stark black on white or white on black

I'll never go back to a basic e-ink reader, a tablet or smart-phone is so much more versatile
