A reader is describing the habit of travelling with multiple ways to read: a Wink ebook reader, ebooks stored on a phone, and a paperback as a fallback in case the technology fails. The post also notes the same anxious approach applies to music, since running out of reading material or something to listen to while travelling is the real fear. It has struck a chord with fellow heavy readers who recognise the same redundancy habit.

Why now: Many travellers and avid readers relate to needing backup formats so they are never without a book.
