This is the biggest thing for me. I can cary my library with me all the time and when I have to wait longer than planned I can read something meaningful instead of just playing a stupid phone game or reading internet banality. I mean there's times when I don't want to think and those things are great. But now I have an option.

As much as I love my (physical!) library, I don't feel the need to carry all of it around with me. Just the book I'm reading at the moment suffices — perhaps a completely different second book (e.g., non-fiction if the other one is fiction) if I expect a long trip.

When I go to the barber I know that there is a good chance that there will be a queue, so I grab a book. I got through six chapters of Foucault's Pendulum (Umberto Eco, 1986) that way last week.
