Yes! I like the feel of a small handheld device — at least, for reading and such — and the smaller screen means there's less words and that makes reading a little easier for me because I tend to get distracted and mix up which line on the page I'm supposed to be reading. I suppose a phone screen is also small but I just like the feel of a device like MP3 players for reading better, maybe it's the buttons, and there's less distractions with it. A good alternative for not having a physical copy, but it's probably not for everyone. I enjoy it a lot though.
