Paperbacks dominate devices when it comes to beach books

Early adopters of the reading device told themselves that they would forever prefer to read a real book and had invested in the electronic reader only so they wouldn’t be weighed down getting on a plane to foreign parts with two or three paperbacks. Two or three paperbacks, you know yourself, being so incredibly heavy. Half the early adopters then decided they didn’t need the weight of the Kindle plus their laptop or iPad and downloaded books on to them instead, with a small bunch of headbangers using their smartphones, which is pure daft because your fingers get exhausted from page-turning and to see a book announcing it has 1,979 pages by virtue of fitting each onto a small screen is daunting.
