The first thing I bought for any of my classes this semester was a Kindle e-reader. I assumed I'd be able to get my textbooks on it since the college website showed they were available as ebooks, but the bookstore site neglected to mention that the books were only able to be downloaded onto the computer. Even a laptop isn't portable enough to take advantage of every available spare time moment of reading.
This brings up my next point: there are some situations where you might have several minutes to read but just don't want to use an electronic device to do so. To put it mildly, one wouldn't want liquids near one's electronics if, say, one liked to read in the bathtub for instance. This calls for alternate reading materials of little monetary or personal value, preferably ones made up of short stories.
A final thought: Reading library books in the bathroom is just wrong. Altough I suppose it'd be a good idea if one had purchased the books from a library sale where they often cost between $1 apiece and $5 a bag.
