Phones vs eBook Readers – The Argument for Phones Doesn’t Hold up
Last August I posted about how I think there should be more options for small portable ebook readers that easily fit into a pocket so you can take them everywhere. There used to be a few smaller ereaders with 4 and 5-inch screens like the Pyrus Mini, Kobo Mini and PocketBook 360, but now all […]
