That too. Plus I like holding an actual book in my hands. I don't have
a generator so what happens when you can't charge your e-reader or don't
have a UPS for the computer? When the power went out for 4 days after
Hurricane Matthew I was very happy to have a bag full of actual books to
keep me occupied. (Fortunately, extended power outages around here are
rare.)
