Guardian books podcast: Joe Dunthorne, Ross Raisin, and book formats

In today's podcast we turn to the question of literary packing, after a new report finds that Britons are Europe's most voracious holiday readers. But is your luggage crammed with paperbacks or will you be slipping a slimline e-reader into your carry-on? We debate the relative merits of ebooks versus print books, and Richard Lea takes to the streets of London to confront people with yet another revolutionary book format: the Flipback book.

And Claire Armitstead talks to authors Ross Raisin and Joe Dunthorne about their latest work, and how they've tackled the tricky territory of the second novel.
