I have an e-reader, actually two options for that now, but my reading lists aren't meshing up with actual e-book availability much these days. I'll remedy that with next year's lists hopefully.
Quote:
13. Only four pages to go!…and it’s your train stop.
16. Being prisoner to a book so good you’re unable to think of or do anything else till you’ve turned the last page.
21. Wanting to reread the most amazing book you read when you were a kid, but all you can remember is that it had a…girl in it. And maybe a train. Or a mirror or something.
26. The wait between installments.
27. Books that won’t stay open when you’re trying to read and eat a sandwich at the same time.
32. The pro/con of loaning out your favorite book: everyone should read it/you’ll never see it again.
35. 400 bedtime readings later, and Love You Forever still makes you weep.
47. Feeling like you have to “forgive” your loved ones for not adequately appreciating your favorite book.
50. Dropping a book on your face while reading on your back.
51. Talking to yourself while reading in public because it’s that good.
56. Mispronouncing words because you’ve never actually heard them out loud—you’ve only read them in books.
64. People respect not wanting to pause a movie way more than they respect not wanting to pause a book.
66. (Using unpaid bills as bookmarks is an even worse idea.)
73. The scary stains you find in the pages of borrowed books.
83. ”I just want to look really quick.” –Famous last words, spoken just before you enter the bookstore

These ones apply way too often for me.
