Portability doesn't have to mean "an entire library at your fingertips." It can simply mean, "I already have to carry my phone, why carry a physical book as well?" The desire to not be weighed down with physical books is quite "avidness agnostic" in my opinion.

Bingo! This is what I mean by portability, the same happened with music. To be able to listen to music and/or read wherever you happen to be is a wonderful thing.
