I'd certainly do the same if that were my life as well.

But strictly for the sake of comparison: I can probably count the nights I've slept under any other roof but my own in the last half-decade on one hand.

Most of the time I'm going out to accomplish a task, and then returning home. I just take my phone.

But I do occasionally travel (usually to visit my mom in Florida), and then I take my phone, my ipod, my ereader, my laptop and possibly my DSLR.

Do you never go away on vacation?

My iPhone is with me all the time. I don't read books on it but I save long news articles to read in Pocket. That's my subway reading. When I go to my client I have my Macbook Pro with me. I only take my Kindle if I'm going to the doctor or somewhere I know I'll have a lot of time to kill. And on vacation, of course.

I have my smartphone, my Kobo mini and sometimes will grab my Ipad mini. The smartphone doesn't have books, but the other two do.

I don't understand the question.

I kid... but no... my life is pretty casual to begin with, so I rarely feel the need to vacate. Plus, leaving is just too stressful on my wallet. I'd have to work that much harder/longer just to recover from the financial strain of a vacation. I've found it's much easier to just plug along and need less from life. I'm an island. That saying about no man being one? ... is crap. I'm a fat little contented island.

Fair enough

Let me formally revise my answer:

Day to day: Nothing.
Intentional trips away from the house to relax for an hour or so: PW2
Overnight trips any where: iPad, PW2, iPod

Overall lifestyle choice: no smartphone, don't need one don't want one. Really

I just take my Sansa Clip Zip for audiobooks and my phone.

pidgeon92 · 10-24-2013, 12:56 PM

iPhone 5.

I only take a Kindle if I know I'll end up waiting somewhere for a while.

Clip Zip - my favorite gadget

I always have my Kobo Mini (great little device) and my iPhone with me. If it were more than a day, I would also have my Nook HD+.

Phone is always in my purse or pocket. Kindle is usually, but not always, in my purse or tote bag. It depends on whether I am planning on carrying a bag and what the whether is like, and whether I am doing something like a grocery store run that offers no opportunity for reading.

Smartphone always, big data plan. Pw 1 always. Travelling by car iPad as well. Knitting always, but small projects.

My Samsung Note 2. It fits in my pocket easily and gives me the ability to read books, play music and play games all on one skinny little machine!
