Interesting. Apart from my computer screen and the odd text msg on my old mobile phone, I do not use any of the other reading gadgets. If and when there is a pan-European mobile network I might get a smartphone, but I have no need for one in my current situation, living in Germany with frequent visits to Sweden and France. Instead I use different sim cards.
