يؤخّر قراءة التسلية من ال [فرقونت فلير] كطريق جيّدة إلى إقامة يسلّى على رحلات طويلة, غير متوقّع, أو التوقفات معتادة. هو قد كان فترة منذ [أمزون] أطلق ه لاسلكيّة قراءة أداة, ال أشعلت وقرّر أنا أن يختبر ما إذا ه الطريق نهائيّة أن يقرأ في 30,000 أقدام.

). Books don’t require electricity or the accessories that go along with them.

Best For: Adventure and vacation travelers who go on trips to leave their gadgets behind, not bring them along. Books also can’t be used to check emails, waste time on Myspace, or be destroyed by sand at the beach.

Aspect: Functionality

Winner: iPod Touch - Sorry Kindle, but a jailbroken iPod Touch can also be used to play NES games, check emails, and listen to music - not just read books.
Best For: Cheap travelers who cut costs by paying less on fares but end up having to wait at airports for long layovers.

Aspect: Readability

Winner: Kindle - Although books with decent fonts can be easily read, the Kindle can download more than 115,000 titles. Finding eBooks for the iPod Touch is difficult and there aren’t many options (not to mention that the text is tiny).
Best For: Those who intend to read more than 3 hours on a flight. High altitudes constrict blood vessels combines with sitting for prolonged periods of time causes strain on your eyes. Reading small text or under poor light can cause headaches that will only add to the discomfort caused by jet lag and dehydration.

Aspect: Connectivity

Winner: Books - The iPod Touch requires access to a wireless network which can be dangerous and hard to find and the Kindle connects over EVDO which is easily accessible in the US, but not really anywhere else.
Best For: Non-technical travelers and those who want to relax as much as possible. Fiddling with wireless networks, configuring WEP, and signing up to hotspots can easily make you lose track of the reason you’re traveling in the first place.

The Ultimate Winner: Books - They may be heavy and a one-trick pony, but they’ll get you through security lines quickly, can be used without electricity, and don’t cost much. You can protect your privacy by making a book cover. Don’t worry about weight, unless you’re going to be gone for a few weeks - once you calculate the amount of time you’ll be reading you’re likely to find that it’s only a book or twos worth.
