Picture it now; warm sun, cocktails, tropical music playing in the background, relaxing on a lounger near the sea, ready to spend a couple of hours with a good book. Reaching over to grab the book - is it an E-reading device or a paperback book? The obvious choice is a lightweight tablet. It won't take up room, has a long battery life plus easily rechargeable. They can also hold thousands of books. Not happy with your choice of beach novel? Just switch to another!
But do tablets have beautifully bound covers, illustrations, or the feel of bending back the spine of a brand new book? No, there are none of those things. We'll leave it up to the discretion of each traveler to decide. We know what we'd choose.
