I do not suffer from abibliophobia, the fear of running out of reading material.

I have never been faced with such a fear, as I always have plenty of reading material handy, whether it’s physical books, magazines, or newspapers, ebooks on my Kindle app, the newsfeed on my iPhone, blog posts, or articles in online journals.

It seems that the supply and availability of reading material these days is almost endless and even overwhelming.

But I do suffer from something known as lobattaphobia, the overwhelming fear when the battery on my iPhone runs out.
