Personally, I'll read on whatever device I have to hand, and I usually have my phone, iPad Mini and Icarus to hand (or at least somewhere in the house on a charger). I often have 3 books on the go. I usually read on the train to and from work - the journey is about 55 minutes and I'm usually reading for at least 30 minutes at a stretch. The rest of the commute is too short or I'm driving. I don't read at work unless I am taking a long lunch break - I usually only have 30 minutes and by the time I've eaten my lunch and cleared up it's time to get stuck in again. Otherwise, I'll read in the evenings.

Some books I can only read on a single device - my graphic novels and textbooks are only read on the iPad because of the bigger screen size and landscape mode. I've just finished Andrew Caldecott's Rotherweird - I started it on the phone and finished it on the Icarus. The layout didn't work at all well on the phone. Others I'll read on whatever is charged up and to hand (and how my wrists feel - I get tendonitis so need something light or something to rest the device on).

Screen type doesn't bother me, neither (usually) does screen size. If I'm sleepy, I prefer a bigger screen, but I'm not fussed whether it's LCD or eInk - unless it's late evening when I prefer eInk (even on night setting LCD tends to be too bright).
