More than one ereader
For those of us that have more than one ereader, why? Currently I have only my Samsung Galaxy J7, however I have had multiple in the past. Sometimes because one was on the way out and the other was on the way in.

Different circumstances.
Most of my commuting reading (from Amazon) is done on the iPhone Kindle app because I can hold the phone in one hand easily and slip it into a small pocket when I'm changing platforms. I read non-fiction (mostly) and graphic novels or PDFs on the iPad because of the larger screen. Non-Amazon purchases are read on the Icarus which also acts as a back-up Kindle reader if I run out of battery on the iPad or iPhone. The Icarus and the iPad are a fiddle on the commute because I transport them in a zipped compartment in my bag. |

Because I often cannot resist a new reader if it has a feature I would like, but I also don't want to give up my older readers if they have features that are missing in the new one.

I have two ereaders (4th & 7th gen Kindles). The older one is a backup.

I also have more than one chef's knife, more than one pair of walking shoes, more than one hair dryer, more than one crock pot...
I don't understand the question. ![]() I have an Oasis 2, Kobo Glo HD, 2 iPad minis, 1 iPad Pro, 1 iPhone 7+, and various devices not currently being used. The ones I mentioned are all in use, although the Kobo not too much right now. |

I keep my Kindle Touch around to download Amazon books in the old file format so I can then use ALF to get them into Calibre and convert to ePub.

Mostly because the old ones are so dang cheap and (to me) valuable that I can't help but collect them. I collect cheap mechanical pencils also. I always think I'm going to start a blog and compare my pencils or eReaders, but so far ... zip.

I have zero complaints about my Kobo Aura and there is a lot to be said for Kobo's software over Nooks. But that high-res screen and waterproofing (for $60!) keep calling out to me. |
