Since I read mostly on my phone, I pretty much always have it with me. It IS my security blanket - security against being bored at the bank, bored at the grocery store, bored at the doctor, bored anywhere! I'm a totally different person (calm, mellow) if I have something to read while waiting vs. if I don't (snarky, sort of unpleasant). My husband says it's a mental weakness to not be able to amuse myself without a book while waiting in line, but sorry, I like reading while waiting!
I often also bring one of my other readers depending on what I'm planning on doing - if I'm going to be eating at a restaurant with an outdoor patio (love sunny southern California) or otherwise outside, I'll bring an e-ink reader; if I'm going to the gym, I bring the old end-of-life PDA that I don't care if I sweat on; etc.
I echo all the folks earlier in the thread who said they never used to leave home without a DTB or two - now I don't leave home without my reader, errrrr, phone.
