Or why not take a pen and paper and write your own book?
In all seriousness....write down all the details of your day in the saddle...where you went, changes in weather, places you passed, people you met, wildlife you saw. Spend some time at the end of the day noting it down so that later you can put it together into something others can read as well as yourself.
You might be glad you did in years to come.

Yep.

Also I would be scared of breaking an iPad or kindle if I dropped the bike/crashed/dry-bags leaked. It's pretty difficult to break a book (unless you crash into a fire). But kindle thread =====>
