* Are you reading more than you did in 2002?
Yes, I had some health issues that caused problems with me staying still, not to mention concentrating, at that time.
* Do you read more because of e-books?
Having been online since the late 80's I have been exposed to ebooks for quite awhile, I want to expand the question because of this. I don't think I read more because of ebooks, I think I read more because of dedicated ebook readers, particularly because of eInk. Until my Sony I read and -finished- very few ebooks.
* Do you read more because of MobileRead.com?
Definitely. Between getting tremendous help to fully utilize my Reader with 3rd party utilities and formatting tools, to the wealth of available texts presented by members of MR, to just the motivation and reminder that, "Hey, you have the Reader there, go use it" I feel whenever I'm on here I think MR has had an impact on my reading. When I bought my Reader I had intended to focus on non-fiction texts (from www.mises.org and such), I think MR reopened a wealth of fiction, both newer texts and classics, to me.
