Books are easier in some ways doesn't need power and you can have several open on a desk at the same time

RE Latin / Classics when I was doing classical studies in 6th form in the UK I wanted to do some additional reading.

A well known eccentric classical scholar (G M Lee) used to have his personal desk set up with all the books he needed.

I had to get my Mum who worked at the library to ask the county librarian to ask him if some one else could borrow some of the books.
