Who takes his/her reader to the bathroom for a sit & read?

So, who takes the reader to the bathroom for a good sit & read session?

JedV · 09-14-2011, 12:03 PM

I've used mine in the bath... I bought a cover first so the KT was easier to hold. I find that it's a little too small otherwise.

As for the toilet, why don't you be the first to admit your habits?

I have always taken a book with me when I use the bathroom. Now I take my Nook Color and I do not even have to turn the light on.

I was actually considering whether I should get additional Android tablets to place in various locations around the house.

Very rarely. I'm too afraid of an accident. That's why God created magazines & pbooks.

jhempel24 · 09-14-2011, 05:25 PM

All the time!

Tattncat · 09-14-2011, 05:31 PM

I confess......my reader goes everywhere I go.

Rumpelteazer · 09-14-2011, 05:48 PM

Sometimes, though I usually have a couple of magazines or catalogues around. If I read a book I usually have pbook in diary form (Bridget Jones' Diary) or letters (84 Charring Cross Road) because those entries are short.

I only take my reader with me if it's a really good book that I just can't put down even for a couple of minutes.

Remember it is not called the reading room for nothing. Plus it's the only room where you can get peace and quiet. There it's the only seat in the house that lets you know when you've been sitting long enough, your legs fall asleep (about 15mins).

Before they all died in the past 3 years, my entire family used the reading room. I wonder if there is a correlation? I can only hope it is so.

To live is to read.

Yeah, you can quote me.

DixieGal · 09-14-2011, 07:17 PM

No reading or phone calls in there. Go in, do my business, then back to my comfy sofa to read.

All the time, even though my Palm E2 met an unfortunate "end" in the washroom. Death by drowning

Problem was, I wasn't reading on the can. Toilet kept running, and I went in to fix it with my E2 in my shirt pocket. I leaned over to lift the tank lid, and plop!
