I'll see when I'll have to charge, it's a far way off, based on my current indicator (no idea where people get the percentages from...)

With so many devices, I'd have to remember per device which side is up. Some devices have the port on the bottom, others at the top.
And ever since I got my new phone, I've been hooked on USB-C, once you're used to that, that MicroUSB is annoying!

I work 8 hours per day, lunch with the collegues, so that's 8,5 hours per day impossible reading time. I sleep another 8, it's an 1 1/2 commute (carpooling, so it's rude to read while the other is driving and impossible to read when I'm driving myself), in the morning I read the newspaper (another hour for my morning ritual). So, that's 19 hours. Then when we get home, it's about an hour and a half of food preparation and food consumption. That leaves 3,5 hours. Sometimes, I read those 3,5 hours away, sometimes I spend time on my other hobbies/cats/husband. I do read between 30 minutes and an hour a day, but usually that eats into my sleeping time
And I read while waiting for the car to pick me up. And depending on the book, whenever I have a spare minute...

Sadly, that's not the case in my case! USB-C on my phone
So I'll have to make sure I have two cables and the charger, or a charger with a converter.
