You make the best of what's available.

Yeah, I remember reading on my m500 on various Greek beaches. It was kept wrapped in a clear plastic bag to keep sand/salt/suntan lotion off it, and it worked very well. It was far preferable to filling my suitcase with 20+ paperbacks and still running out or reading material early in the second week. (It was about that time I downloaded the Baen Free Library...)
I suspect the m500 was one of the causes of the arthritis I have in both thumb joints...
