I'm with an earlier poster in that I read VERY quickly; reading on my smartphone does necessitate page turns roughly every 4-6 seconds. And as with a few other posters, my over-50 nearsighted vision is complicated by presbyopia (meaning reading glasses with my contacts, or multivision contacts, or pushing my progressive lens glasses on top of my head because they still aren't strong enough...)
Like many of the MR forum members I own a smartphone and an e-reader (or two). I use both to read based on where I am.
My smartphone lives in my pocket, whether in scrubs or in my jeans. I have it with me when waiting to pick up a kiddo from sports practice or after school, or when alone standing in a particularly long line at the store, or... You get the idea. My beloved NC always goes in my bag for those long stretches at work, and fits well in the pocket of my cargo shorts and pants.
Yes, I prefer reading on my e-reader. But my smartphone is a great backup and fills in for those times when I don't have an e-reader with me. Until technology changes form factors of smartphones or e-readers I'm going to use both to read.
