Are you worried that the handles will tear away from the canvas?
Too late for this trip now but have you consider buying a ebook reader? That will greatly reduce the weight.
Have a fun and safe trip!
I could read on my ipad, but if I am outside or something it's hard to see
How do the handles look when you're carrying it? Is it puckering or does it look stressed where it connects with the bag?
It almost looked like the handles were pulling away from the canvas. I took the big book out.. I'm a little disappointed because this is one reason why I wanted the bag and was under the impression that people used this bag for these type things
I think it's convenient for travel if you're filling it up with a blanket, travel pillow, or extra jacket etc but yeah heavy stuff like books would be difficult...
Yes .. a ebook reader like kindle paperwhite is much better. When I travel I bring both my ipad mini and kindle.
