Indeed, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. You won't get far hanging a Kindle on a nail in the outhouse like you can an old fashioned telephone book for instance - the sheets just can't be torn off in the same way. And the ereader doesn't have that satisfying new paper smell that the pages of a freshly opened book do.
But on the other hand, you can't turn your average paperback on and use it like a modest torch when you need to stumble through the house in the middle of the night without turning all the lights on - as I did the other night with my iTouch...
Either way, I agree with it really being about getting in the 'reading bubble' and most methods seem to manage that.
I hope the pain has gone away since the hospital visit. Sounds nasty.
