I love smartphones. Instead of having to buy books, I can just pirate like thousands of epubs to put in my pocket and I'm effectivly carrying a bookshelf with me.
I ain't carrying a fucking book, too heavy. (Also, yaRrr ๐ดโโ ๏ธ)
Edit: Also, audiobooks.
I wish popular cell phones would offer an eink option. I know there are 1-2 phones out there, but they always seem to be on some ancient version of Android.
If my kindle played audio files / podcasts that would be half of what I use it for.
