I used to bring books up to camp.

But since installing the Libby app on my phone, e-books are my favorite way to read. The phone is small and compact, so I can carry around 10 library books without the stack or worrying about them getting wet or damaged. I can read late into the night without a light, next to the fire or wherever I have my phone. The books use minimal power to be read. It’s great!

The one thing I did learn is that while Libby doesn’t require cell service to read books every day, you do need to connect at least once every two days or you loose access to your books. That is a downside for wilderness camping though these days with work and everything else it’s only occasionally that I do a three night stay in the wilderness without any cell access.
