I increased my reading when I finally bought an e-reader in 2011. Let's say my baseline for reading was really low...But having something lightweight that I could carry everywhere really helped. It also helped that I could increase the font size. I find paperback fonts are very trying for me now (I did recently have reading glasses made).

I got a smartphone in late 2012 and started listening to books on it. It's blasphemy to state this on a mobile reader site--but I almost exclusively 'read' with audiobooks now. And I find I can read more because I do so while doing chores and playing with the cats. I have The Magus on my e-reader but keep putting it off even though it's a book I've wanted to read for awhile now. But every time I finish an audiobook, I download another. I wish Overdrive offered The Magus as an audiobook.
