I've been a one-book-at-a-time reader for years, but getting my Kobo has definitely changed that habit. I find since I got it I've been reading two or three books at once on average, although there's no pattern to how much attention I pay to each. I find that I usually have at least one which is light or easy to read for times when I'm on the bus or somewhere I might be easily interrupted, and then one (or perhaps two) that are more 'dedicated' reading.
Of course, when I stumble across an engrossing book I temporarily become a one-book-only reader again. Most recently that happened when I (finally) got around to reading the first book of the Hunger Games. Everything else I was reading took a backseat to that. :P
On the flip side, I'm now reading Jane Eyre which, while I enjoy the story overall I don't always feel like reading. At those points I'm glad to have something else to switch to for a break before I resume the heavier novel.
