I was an early adopter to the smart phone but I used to always have a random paperback stuffed in every vehicle.
When I was in the Army(mid 80's) I used to always take 3-4 books plus magazines in my pack or hide one away in the Jeep. Since everyone was in the same boat it wasn't hard to find a fresh book on a long stretch in the field. I was stationed at a small post in Germany with only about 1000 people and we had an awesome book store for its size.
Though few books survived more than one or 2 trips to the field and most people never expected to get them back. I would grab a few from the day room and It was read, pass it on, sometimes until the book you were reading had lost its covers and possibly a page or two from each end.
