“A year-long solo trip around the world could be a solitary affair, but I’ve been traveling in the esteemed company of Pico Iyer, Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, Paulo Coelho, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Barack Obama thanks to my Kindle – the iPod of books.

I eagerly anticipate plane, bus, and camel caravan delays as they present an opportunity to read from my growing library. Best of all, the computerized tablet barely takes up any room in my rucksack and the battery lasts for more than 30 hours.”
