View Poll Results: Do you carry your (eInk or LCD) eReader everywhere?
Yes, it's my security blanket. I have bought purses/jackets/clothing around my need to carry it at all times. 87 32.58%
Yes. Well, most of the time. I'm not as obsessive as the people in Option 1. 89 33.33%
About 50/50 for me. The people in Option 1 and 2 are pretty extreme. I like pina coladas. 39 14.61%
Not really. I didn't vote in Option 3 because I thought it sounded kind of sanctimonious. 34 12.73%
No, I keep my eReader at home, often in a locked safe. If I don't take the wrapper off, it will accrue in value. 9 3.37%
Dear madam, these poll options are dreadful, and additionally I have a kipper in my ear. 19 7.12%
Multiple Choice Poll. Voters: 267. You may not vote on this poll

This. The eReader is easier to carry than a book, particularly the little Libre Pro.

It goes back and forth to work with me everyday. But it stays in my large bag in the car if I stop to go grocery shopping or something similar. But if I ever stop at the Chinese takeout place, I'm sure I'd take it with me inside (I used to web surf on my phone when waiting there before).

My e-readers fit in any bag which I take outside, so the 650 goes everywhere with me; the 505 is a homebody and is just waiting for the day the 650 gets lost/stolen/run over. Any opportunity to read - I'm taking it!

I use my PE for my shopping list, as well. I also put all my e-cookbooks on it, so recipe ingredients are handy in the grocery store.

Also, its audio on it is good enough that I can listen to books while I'm out running short errands in the car. On long trips, I use CDs, though.

Anywhere I expect an unpaid break/wait (I am not permitted to read if on the clock, even if I am waiting).
I even read my PEz in the lunchroom at Lab126

I voted "No" along with the locked safe comment. Mainly because, when I'm out of the house, if I wish to read, I'll read on my phone with the Kindle app. Now, thanks to Amazon's new tools, I can read any book on the phone, even if it didn't originate from Amazon. Get home, sync back to the Kindle and I'm right where I was on the phone. Loverly!

So, the e-reader stays safe at home (hey, I've broken 3 ... or maybe it was 4 ... all while the reader was out of the house). Not really in a locked safe - but it was the only poll option that fit.

Ever since I got my reader in '07, I've bought my purses to fit my reader. My reader doesn't fit, I don't buy it.

I make sure to buy purses to fit my readers, too. My 350 is small enough that purse size is not really ever a problem, though.

I did it the other way around. one of the reasons I bought my Libre Pro was because I wanted an eReader that would fit in my purse.

I usually carry my e-book reader in my purse. So, yes, I usually carry it everywhere. Before e-book readers, I usually carried a book in my purse. In fact, I still do carry a dead tree book with me most of the time.

Of course I carry it everywhere! Otherwise when would I read? I read on the metro, train, plane, any kind of transportation, much more than at home. I don't drive, as you can probably tell. The only case (apart from forgetting to put it in my purse ) when I don't always take it is when I go grocery shopping, because I do it on foot and I don't read in the checkout line.
