Hey, you lazy folks most of you are reading IN BED???????
How about getting a little bit more "active"? A couple of weeks ago I tried to read on the iPhone while I was jogging. It didn´t work (far too many trees on the running track). I remember a picture of a Sony or a Cybook tied to some fitness equipment. Who was it? VR?

Do you mean specifically with one's chosen ereading device?
or does this poll include pbooks as well?
Because that makes a difference..

(love the "at work - while working" option! LOL)

no........I"m thinking it doesn't make any difference. Reading is reading, regardless of whether you are reading a paper book, or e-book.

What about the option:
during holiday dinners with family?

My mom would complain and tell me "put that book down and help me!"

So far, I've only read with my reader at home.
It's still so new and I'm afraid of it getting hurt!

True, but I could imagine taking a cheap pbook in the shower, but never a Cybook / Sony / Kindle.

I voted "everywhere" but the true answer should have been "everywhere except the tub". I know it's a time-honored place to read, but I never could get the hang of it.
I did know a guy (and he's still alive - don't ask me how) who read while driving. I don't do that one, either.

I read in restaurants. Not when I'm dining with friends of course because that would just be rude.
