Are you reading more than you did in 2002?
Don't think that's possible. I'm actually reading less, because I have less time to read these days. We bought a house 2 years ago and are still busy rebuilding it.
* Do you read more because of e-books?
Initially, I read much more when I got my first Loox. At least, once I figured out I could read books on it. A year after I got that Loox, I decided to buy a new PDA, one that would be much better for ebook reading (which is my current Loox).
* Do you read more because of MobileRead.com?
Nope, I've not been here that long

This is the same for me. It's not that I'm reading more, but rather from a bigger selection. The library in my town didn't have a good selection, so I gave up on that. And buying books here can be a very expensive hobby (with fixed prices for books, there is not a lot of competition). And don't even mention space...
(btw, our books have been packed for almost two years after our move, so I'm so happy with ebook
)
