3+ hours per week.

Seriously, I see no reason to just waste time I have to spend soaking my back (due to scoliosis) so I read paperbacks or gaming material (my hobby of playing pen & paper RPGs is becoming less of a "hobby" in some ways as I am writing my own RPG currently ).

Also, it is again time away from a computer screen. Reading research materials (old public domain fairy tales and other public domain books) and taking notes is nother of my planned usages for an e-paper device and again a reason I would prefer a split device (display screen and e-note pad able to tie footnotes to a document page).
