I've been a fountain pen user for years but in the last few years have found gel pens to be a good compromise for their relative reliability. The Uniball Signo 207/307 gives a clean line without much pressure, on par with some of my favorite fountain pens, plus I've been impressed with the waterproofness of the ink. (My overall favorite has to be the Parker 21, if only they didn't crack so easily!)
I'll have had my Kindle for ten years this fall and I still don't use it as much as I'd hoped or expected, but it's always been extremely handy to read a bunch of books from Project Gutenberg on vacation. My favorite part is definitely the screen, unlike most others I can read on it for hours without getting a headache.
They seem to be harder to find, but I much prefer the 0.5mm signos over the 0.7mm when I can get them. Anything larger than 0.7 just swallows my small handwriting.
