    I can see how these Readers might be useful for some, especially if you read a lot, on the move where it is very impractical to carry a few books with them but for the regular bedtime/holiday reader, I think the paperback is still a clear winner!

      yes, you’re right – maybe there are some good opportunities for students who can’t lug a load of heavy textbooks with them when they go abroad…but they would be extremely dangerous to read in the bath I’m sure! For me, price is a big issue with regard to books so I will usually buy them second hand or borrow them – restricting sharing of them and keeping the price high is not a winning strategy for me!
