Quick follow up -- yes, blogging, message boards, etc. are reading but very interactive, they are ongoing conversations and I love them for that. I just see "reading a book" as a very different experience -- online works tend to be much shorter, often addressing a subject in far less detail (non-fiction) or just shorter in general (the dominance of short and flash fiction over novels online) and much of the value comes from other peoples' insight.
