Just as an example, I took my Kobo eInk reader out to read yesterday when I knew that I was going to be sitting out in the sun waiting for a football game to start. It was a situation that reading my iPhone was difficult in. IMPO, it's a case of using the right tool for the right job.

A few times a year....maybe. Beach vacation perhaps. When I used to sit on the sidelines as my kids played soccer. If I can't possibly read due to direct sun, then I'd listen to a book.
Far more relevant to me in the midwest, is reading in the dark. I read much better on phones and tablets than I did reading real books in that light. |

That's my goal when the rain ends here. To read outside every day until it's too cold. Forced indoors this year because of street construction and family health issues. In the Spring, I repainted everything (tables and andirondack chairs) and then was unable to use any of it until a few days ago.

Not to many people reading here right now. We are under a tornado watch.

She should be OK. Michael is going to make landfall between Panama City and Apalachicola around 2:00 PM today and then turn northeast. I am on the eastern side of the track and will have to watch out for Tornados. Michael's centerline is tracking over Albany Georgia and then up the eastern seaboard through both South and North Carolina. By early Thursday morning (2:00 AM) it will be well past our location.

We just had a short vacation (walking in the Alps), and halfway we decided to take a rest day. So, that day we came "home" to the hotel fairly early and went to sit on the balcony, reading in the sun! At home, I just don't have the time to do that (too many other things you should be doing...) |

Since that holiday, I always brought way more books than should have been required. |
