Before my vision worsened last year, I always took my Itouch with me for my own appointments since I often have longish breaks while waiting for the doc to come in, blood draws, xrays and the like. Very often got in 10-20 minutes of reading in many spurts. For other times, such as taking family members to appointments, I always bring a kindle. The bigger screen is just easier to read. In addition, I always remembered my Itouch and sometimes forgot to put the Kindle back in the purse, so I'm never without. I just can't stand the magazine drivel in doctor's office and auto places.
My cousin is a nurse and many of the nurses and techs use their phones to read during breaks. They have their phones anyway and they don't have to carry something extra.
As far as audiobooks, that's my primary source of 'reading'. However, interruptions of late have made it difficult to finish. I also find I can't listen to an audiobook in high traffic, which has limited that option on drives.
