No, not for me--I fish. For my wife, so she can read while I am fishing!"


If you have a smartphone, see if you can get her to happily read on that (B&N Nook software installed on it) using a pair of light reading glasses. I like these reading devices just fine, but consider them a bit heavy and bulky to carry backpacking. For me, at least, if the book I'm reading is interesting enough I quickly forget what it is that I'm reading it on.

Maybe for a fishing trip, a sort of base-camping experience though --- an actual book reader might be just about perfect.
