Books for me usually are for the weekend.
I'd understand someone to be happy with 30minutes or no internet per day; and reading book for 4 hours.
But I can't finish a regular book in 4 hours!
Usually when I have 4 hours, and a 280-400 page book, it takes me 3 days to finish.
I never was a speedreader.

I read in my spare time and have a full time day job. I'm not a speed reader, but I do read fast - always have done. My spare time includes the two hours a day I spend commuting, whilst cooking, when I'm getting ready for bed, and in between doing other stuff (hobbies, browsing online etc). I don't watch much TV, though.
I usually list reading as a hobby on my CV. I've been asked once in an interview what I like to read, to which my answer was "whatever I can lay my hands on - I'll read the back of a tin of beans if there's nothing else around". If I had no other hobbies, I probably could read 20 odd books a month.
