I make a somewhat pointless return to the notion of “real” readers... Speaking for myself, I “really” read books – literary fiction, mostly, with some history and essays thrown in when I’m not so much in need of narrative to keep my interest. However, most of the time, when I read newspaper and the like, I don’t “really” read – I skim and skip around. I like seeing the NYTimes or Washington Post spread out on my large computer screen, where I can see all the photos and side columns and grab a little bit of everything without committing to actually reading anything. On the other hand, when I’m away from the internet, I’ll get newspapers on my Kindle. Then I actually will read an article or two, because there is no way to accomplish my lazy skimming. Yes, I tend to be a real reader on my Kindle!
