Or you can buy an e-text and put it on your PDA. Then it fits into a pocket.

Yes, if you're rich and can spend the extra money on such items.

Yes a pocket version of the entire LOTR would be divine, but I do love my paperback one volume, its just very heavy on top of Biology, History, etc. books. I plan on collecting all the versions of the books over a period of years. Its a goal, anyway.

Mine, too . . . my paperback LotR was not able to handle all the stress of travel.

Holy crap I should have replied to this 2 years ago... well its worse now, I can't find my copy of the FOTR. *cries*

Brill bump-up - I've spotted some of my earliest posts!

Course, now I have even more copies of the books! We have 3 sets of HoME and strategically placed copies of the books around the house (handy for bedtime, the bathroom, the living room etc). And I've got that super-lightweight India paper edition of LotR that davem found for a ridiculously low price on the flea market - it's printed on that think bible paper so it's very portable but alas worth too much to 'port' too often.

And technology has moved on in four years....Does anyone have one of those E-Book reader thingummyjigs? I wouldn't want to read a book off one, but I'd still quite like one just to cart round the entire works of Tolkien!

I have all of LotR broken up into the three books, & today none would fit into my backpack. :\

...my FotR is on the road to disintegration. It's beginning to resemble the Book of Marzarbul.
