I have been reading in Chinese and English since the age of ten. When I was in my teens I got interested in Japanese and German. A series of coincidences led to my learning French without really intending to at the ripe old age of 29.
At the moment, since I read mostly non-fiction, I do most of my reading in English and Japanese since the US, UK and Japan are extremely active in publishing books on practically every subject imaginable. Enjoyment is also important and I don't seem to enjoy reading Chinese and French now as much as I do the two previous languages.
I use a Cybook and have managed to stock it up with books in all 4 languages.
