I read a ton as a kid, I'd check out two books every day from the library and read one on the way home and through the evening, start the next one and return them the next day -- reading while walking to/from the bus in the halls, on the bus, to/from the bus-stop, etc. My parents hated it and would try to stop me from reading, telling me to live in the "real world".
In university I didn't have time for pleasure reading, I was working full time supporting myself and paying my own way through. A few years later I picked up a Newton Messagepad and started reading Project Gutenberg books on it, followed by a Palm, etc... my reading really went into overdrive when I bought my Kindle 3 (Keyboard), but life got busy and there've been periods of on/off. Currently working at a startup and working far too many hours, so my reading is in a but of a slump these days, but I still carry my Kobo everywhere and do my best, most of my reading being 15 minutes every evening in the hot-tub before bed. I'm looking forward to winter as I find more time to just sit and read.
