Holiday downloads: what to put in your digital suitcase

We now spend more time deciding what to take with us on our tablets, phones and e-readers than we do packing our bags. Here's how to organise your digital luggage

Never mind the old ways of rolling up clothes to maximise space, splurging on travel size toiletries, then flipping out and throwing the contents of your case all over the gate when it doesn't meet the hand luggage requirements. Holidaying is now all about what goes in your digital suitcase.

According to a survey commissioned by audiobook retailer Audible, travellers spend more time doing their "digital packing" for a week-long break - four hours and 16 minutes to be precise - than they do packing their physical case, on which they spend a comparatively measly two hours and 30 minutes. A third of under-35s pack their digi-case - which contains music, audiobooks, ebooks, films and TV shows - before they think about the actual stuff they will take on holiday.
