Mojave Desert is perfect for me. There's also Yosemite (winter scene) and some up in the clouds thing in Hawaii, and White Sands NM. There will be others.



Battery life is not that much of a concern. If you are reading you are not moving around, it is easy to plug into power or connect a power bank to extend time. Who needs FoV for reading?

I do not find it heavy. It's heavier than others (which I have not tried) but I do not find it uncomfortably so. My head is a lot heavier that it is. And my stiff neck has largely cleared up since I started using it. Good exercise apparently!

I walk around with it on, it is not an issue unless there is no light (they could have software turn on the front display to full white so you could see where you're going).

I've just been using read.amazon.com to read in Safari. I can't size Safari window as narrow as I'd like (I'm not a fan of 2 column) so I hope Amazon releases a VisionOS compatible Kindle app soon. At one point the (Mac) App Store said it supported VisionOS (with beta version of Kindle app).

I'm a 'zealot' on this website called Mobileread. Of course I move around when I'm reading
