E-Books Better Than Their Print Versions
We all love our hardcovers and paperbacks. But there are times when e-books are a wonderful choice, and not just because they are
sooooo much
lighter to carry around.

Because this one belongs on your smartphone for daily reading.
The Pocket Pema Chödrön
By Pema Chödrön208 pages; Shambhala Pocket Classics
In these 108 short selections, Pema Chödrön addresses such topics as becoming fearless; breaking free of destructive patterns; developing patience and unlocking our natural warmth and intelligence. Considering the stress and anxieties of modern life, the odds are you'll need a Chödrön check-in at least a few times a day—say, while waiting in the line at the supermarket, during the traffic jam on the highway and right after your child spills a 2-pound bag of quinoa all over the carpet. Though you could try to juggle your frustrations and a paperback at the same time, it's probably faster and more effective to hit the reading app on your phone. Remember: It's the nature of things to change, Chödrön tells us, "and you don't have to freak out about it."
