Of course. Guilty as charged
If I need to read more than 20-30 pages and really concetrate then I cannot do it in the office. I need to take it home and find some quiet corner to read it. Plus after staring at LCD monitor at work for 8+ hours I really do prefer paper. So I used to do it all the time. That is why I got Cybook: save some trees, save my eyes and have easy access to all the info I need.
