[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9433678, member: 85555"] I have been meaning to get another one for when I go running (phone is a little too clunky for this). I think this is a fair point.

I have a similar response to physical books versus kindle (I do both but I always remember way more information if I am getting it from a physical book-----I also seem to enjoy the experience more).
