For work, I can now carry around tomes of reference books. It’s been a game changer. And books that come with videos!
I am a voracious reader on holidays, I’d rather take more Astro and photography gear in my precious luggage space then with physical books. I can have all the books I want on my iPad, and if I forget one, then I just download it again.
Ok and maybe not one for the unenlightened anti “PC” lot, but printed books are far worse environmentally.

That is debateable. e-goods (PC's, Kindles etc) have a finite life .. books virtually infinite depending on how they are looked after and stored. On the finished end side books are virtually 100% recyclable .. e-goods ?? 80% at best.
