to my phone and iPad.

Recently, I read through the whole Sherlock Holmes canon.

I even read The Communist Manifesto in one sitting (poor Karl needed an editor badly, but he had some good insights).

Now I'm reading a Willkie Collins novel called "No Name."

The advantage is that I carry my iPhone everywhere anyway, so I can always whip it out and read whenever I have some downtime, such as eating lunch out (as I often do after a morning of work at home) or waiting for a bus.

It is much handier than my former custom of stuffing a paperback book into an already bulging purse.
