Pre-Covid I usually carried one of my ereaders in my handbag. I don't any more because it's just one more thing I'd have to sanitize. I use my ereaders at home after I've washed my hands. I can use my phone for reading for short periods when I'm out and about.

It seems like the longer life goes on, the more stuff I have to carry. When I was young, it was mostly just my wallet, pen & pencil, a few OTC meds, an umbrella on days when rain was in the forecast. In the early 2000's I added a cell phone. Around 2012 I added an ereader. Next to be added as I got older was computer glasses. Now I have to carry a mask and hand sanitizer. And because of the hand sanitizer and/or frequent hand washing, I have to carry hand lotion. My handbags have gotten bigger and bigger.
