I recently read the Bobiverse books, and those were quite fun.

Daniel Suarez is another good one (start with Daemon), as is Ian McDonald (Dervish House, the Luna series).

This was my primary device for a couple of years. I didn’t have a phone at all. I could do everything I needed to do. Camera quality was of course terrible, but I had one of those Sony “lens cameras” paired with it, and that worked great.

I even sailed across the Atlantic with the Nexus 7 as my only media device (I packed a Kindle but it died a week in).

That is why I’m considering a foldable now. If only they weren’t so fragile…
