Reisen mit BüchernFor a lot of people, the best thing about traveling isn't the food, or the sights, or the chance to immerse oneself in another culture. Rather, it's the opportunity to buzz through a series of books, knowing there will be no knocks at the door, no ringing telephone, and none of the 4,000 other obstacles that separate you from a good read. But for the book lover, plotting such a binge can be an exercise in angst. Do the reviews of the latest best-seller justify the three pounds and 64 cubic inches of space the book will eat up in your luggage? Are you really fit enough to add "Anna Karenina" to the other six books in the suitcase? Was der Verfasser des Artikels als Lösung vorschlägt, kann man sich wohl schon denken. Allerdings finde ich den Einwand des Librarian.net berechtigt: The cheapest ebook $400 and there's no way to buy used books for them. Just say no to consumerism that begets consumerism.[via Librarian.net]
