I have this thing that has a complete book on it. Except for the thickness, one version of it is about the same size as a Nook, Kindle, or other piece of electronic crap that you wasted your money on. And it never needs charging. If it falls between a bedroom slide and the wall of a MH, there is a good chance that with a few shakes, it will still operate. In fact the slide may be damaged more than the item. Give it a try, it's called a book. Spelled B-O-O-K.
