There are lots of large-screen reading devices around for those who prefer a larger screen, of course. I read fiction on my Kindle, but PDFs and academic journal articles on my 12.9" iPad Pro, because I prefer a large screen for those. My iPad is considerably lighter in weight than my 3-volume hardback New English Library edition of "War and Peace"
. (Although the printed version does come with a rather nifty bookmark which has all the family trees printed on it, which is rather nice!)
