(In my case, for instance, my primary reader is a PDA. I can read PDFs on it, but it's not a generally happy experience, so I normally read those on the PC, if there is something only available in PDF format. Those are usually computer tech stuff read while working on the machine in any case.)

It depends on what's going on in my life at the time. I seldom read on the Curve, that gets used for breaks at work, mainly. The Astak is my main reader, on the couch and in bed. But, on days when I know I've got lots of stuff to do on the computer, MS Reader gets opened, and usually stays opened for when I take breaks from whatever it is I'm doing on the computer. (Usually schoolwork or sometimes I read while IM'ing with friends, multitasking.) I have one friend I chat with who reads the same type of thing I do, and we've done "internet read-ins" where we're reading the same book at the same time and discussing it via IM client. I use MS Reader for that, nearly exclusively. I am one of these strange people who can't eat unless I have something to read, and most of the time when I eat alone it's in front of the computer, so MS Reader gets used then, too.
When/if I get the Archos 9 after the first of the year, MS Reader will be used a LOT on it.
