Besides the obvious Bentley, which I end up reading every time I hear a
funny noise, I have an RCA REB1100 e-book reader (http://tinyurl.com/5kg7q)
currently loaded with the complete works of Mark Twain, some Edgar Allen
Poe, Lewis Carroll, a few things by John Muir, and a half dozen Terry
Pratchett titles. I never seem to get around to reading older "classics" at
home so I save them to read on the road. My preference would be paper
books, but I never know what I'm going to want to read till I get there.
Some camping spots are clearly Twain, while others are Poe. The only
drawback to the ebook reader is that it's been discontinued for 3 or 4
years and requires the jumping through of a great many hoops in order to
load books onto it. I'd buy something newer and easier to use, but all the
ebook readers now are stupid little PDA sized things!
