Having my mini with me led me to start actually reading a book I own yesterday rather than checking one out. It means I have different books going on different readers, but its not really an different than having a book going on the reader and a library book on the beside table.

I’m a firm believer in having a reader that lives in my out-and-about-bag; that way it can’t be forgotten. Overall, I tend to keep lighter reads on it, things that won’t suffer from distractions and short reading stints. And on the Mini, my battery is still going gangbusters which is really quite gratifying when you consider how old they are. It certainly minimizes the, “Dang, I left it on the charger” issue.
ETA: Yes, the library issue is that it’s a hidden cost. The books appeal because they’re free, leading to lower criteria - except that reading time is not free.
