It's been going to work with me recently. This is a risk, because I have to remember to get it out of the door pocket of the bus when I finish in the morning and after working all night I am a bit woozy and might forget. I left a paperback there once and it was gone the next day. I could sync up my iPod touch and leave the Kindle at home, but I like the bigger, eink screen when I am reading at "lunch time" which is usually 3:15 to 3:45 a.m.
