"I was reading a book, while listening to music."
Why give more information than required? Why should I care you listen to that music in the form of an MP3, on a dedicated book reading device, most likely using ear plugs?
Besides, if we really want to make electronic devices for reading more popular, even for the un-educated (in ereading, that is), the more common you make it sound, the better. Otherwise you'll only scare away those un-educated.
