Agreed completely! Opinions are like ********, everyone has one and the majority stink! I have multiple ebook readers and over 3000 print Science Fiction books, some dating back to the days of the 35 cent paper back book. Also a thousand or more books on other subjects including astronomy, science, history etc. If you read 6 or more books per year, in any form and with any device, I consider you a reasonably serious reader. I read of too many people who admit to not having read a single book since graduating from high school or even college. Reading is ongoing education. I subscribe to several science magazines and the local newspaper too. So a reader there too as well as reading books.

If desperate enough I will even read advertising.
