I love my Ipod nano as I am a bookaholic. But I can only get about an hour a night for 5-7 nights (all depends if I fall asleep with it on…) If you are on a trail that you will get in to town once a week and only use it sparingly it is okay. Otherwise the little ole radio with batteries works better.
I tried a new Pocket PC for my trail journals this year and found that having to recharge periodically was a PITA!! I finally went back to the larger pocketmail simply because battery operated devices are better for trail travel.
Then there are others who would say leave all the “crap” at home. However, remember HYOH!:girl
