I never would have believed it, but I love reading books on my iPhone (kindle app). First of all, the iPhone is small and I can take it with me everywhere so I can read whether I have 5 minutes to wait for the metro or hours on a bus. The screen and "chunks" of text that the kindle provides is actually easy to read. Also, Ican download whatever book I want instead of being slave to hostel book exchanges (which were horrific in South America). So, I'm a complete e-reader person now. As for Antarctica, have you thought about renting your gear in Ushuaia? That's what we did for boots, pants, jackets & heavy gloves. It might cost you about $50-$60/trip but it may also save you the hassle of checking a bag. Let me know if you're interested in this option and I'll send you the address of the place we used - bargaining works.
