Whether you disappear into stories on a plane, train, car, snuggled up in a comfy chair in your home exchange, or while relaxing on the beach, it’s a great vacation activity. What’s not so great? Lugging multiple books along with you and having them take up so much space in your luggage. The Kindle Paperwhite can hold more books than your average suitcase can, and is a great gift to help your loved ones pack lightly while not having to sacrifice their love of the written word.
