It's interesting he has an iPad in the picture of his gear, but doesn't mention it in the article. I, too, waffle on which is best for minimalism, but if I had to choose I'd still go with my MacBook Air. An iPad is nice, but it's not a substitute for a laptop.

I'd want an ereader as well, but when push comes to shove, I can read on my phone just fine. My Kobo Clara BW is small and light enough to be almost unnoticeable.

E reader batteries last a lot longer than a phone. If I read on my phone I’d have to charge it constantly.

You're not wrong. Fortunately it's not a choice I have to make.

i noticed this too and it didnt make much sense to me. my guess is that their work involves using a stylus to draw, or that the ipad works as a second monitor, or that it's simply something they really, really like and its a luxury item
