Works for me!:
It is light, ergo portable and easy to use once you understand the controls. Have had to use it in a doc's waiting room, an auto repair shop waiting room, and also around the house.

When you go to a library you use a card catalog which allows you to look up your books by 1)Title 2) Genre 3)Author and books are shelved in these catagories and sub catagories.
