When I was doing paper books I didn't just carry a book. I also carried my beanbag to prop my book on while I read a lunch. I also had a bookweight to hold my book open. Then I had my 3x5 index cards and a pen to jot down words I wanted to look up when I got home. This morning I ran across the phrase, "He was wearing a wide-awake hat." What in blazes is a wide-awake hat?
Now, I carry my Kindle everywhere.
Baen and Gutenberg didn't interest me. They don't cater to my taste in reading. When I worked, 95% of my reading was non-fiction and work-related. When I retired it went 95% fiction.
