Read with a smart phone or dedicated ereader? - Page 2

WT Sharpe · 01-17-2017, 03:17 PM

Yes. And sometimes on my iPad.

cfrizz · 01-17-2017, 08:25 PM

50% on my Samsung Note 2 5.5" phone during my commute to & from work & lunchtime.
50% on my pc when at home.

Neither. I read exclusively on a Nexus 7 tablet.

I voted for dedicated ereader because I read for longer stretches on my Voyage, but the truth is I frequently read on my smart phone through out the day whenever I have a few minutes to spare.

I read primarily on my Kindle. For the last two years, I can only read on tablets and other screens for a few minutes before my eyes go - quite disappointing since it severely limits how much time I can have at Mobileread. However, I am grateful that an ereader works well with my eyes.

Yes.

... and on a computer
... AND also on a phone with an e-ink display
... *AND* also on a phone with TWO displays - an e-ink and AMOLED display.

I read on my ereaders more (a lot more), but I also read on my laptop, and on my smartphone when I'm out and there's even a couple of minutes of wait time. I voted for ereader because the poll gave only two choices and it reflected my habit better.

frahse · 01-22-2017, 08:44 PM

I read on all the devices, except I have retired my old PDA.

Sweetpea · 01-23-2017, 10:07 AM

None of the above.

I read on my dedicated reader and on a tablet.

tdonline · 01-23-2017, 11:29 AM

Reading books? 99.9% on dedicated e-reader. The .01% is on my phone when I'm without the e-reader.

Recently received an iPad from work so I'm reading a little bit on it for magazines. If run across a long online article or blog post, I prefer to use send to kindle so I can read it in e-ink.

I read in a dedicated ebook app on my iPad Pro, sometimes on my iPhone 6s.

I read only on my ereader (easier on my eyes, larger screen, MUCH better battery life, and I can read in full sun). The only time I deviated from that was when I had to proofread a novel that was in PDF format, then I did it on a 7" tablet.

DaleDe · 01-23-2017, 02:54 PM

Neither, mostly tablet but also my desktop. The poll is worthless since it does not cover many choices.

kyteflyer · 01-23-2017, 03:33 PM

I have been mostly reading on my phone at night before falling asleep but I'm finding lately I'm just too tired, so I suspect I will be switching to either or both of my Sony PRS650 or Kobo Glo HD soon enough.
