How often do you read on your cell phone?

[cromag]

Never. I'm pretty good at knowing when I'll have spare minutes to fill and having one of my ereaders with me.

I use the phone for Google, but that's not really reading.

Never so far as I usually have my Nexus with me.

But I do have Calibre Companion, a few reader apps, and a bunch of books loaded on my phone, just in case...

I read books on my phone if I forget to charge my ereader. I always have my ereader, so I never run down my phone battery if I am reading even though I carry extra batteries.

The phone is my calendar and Internet connection. I use it for work and to play music on bluetooth speakers. It gets a lot of use, and I don't like buying new ones. You can't read outside in the sun on one, so obviously I have to keep an e-ink device with me too. The phone works well for reading but reading on it is inefficient.

I must be tired because I am repeating myself.
Goodnight.

Never; I only read on eink.

This, pretty much. When my Kindle Touch died I contemplated buying a new Kindle, but came to the conclusion that I don't need one, because I have the Kindle app on my phone. Not when I already have a Kobo.

This is me as well. Until the day the screen is as nice to read in any light, including sunlight, and the battery lasts as long or at least substantially longer than current phones, I'll never read on my cell phone.

Practically never. I have books on it, I have the software on it, so if I really have no other option, I will be able to use it. But I also always have my tablet with me and my bebook mini. And those have preference over my phone.

Never, why i guess that there is no phone with a 12" screen,the downside off getting older.

[soulfuldog]

Almost never. I do have a reading app installed and have used the night mode to read a couple of times when away overnight and been in the middle of a really good book, but if I don't have my Kindle I prefer just to browse the web or play games on my phone.

I use a small size phone, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, which has a tiny 4.2 inches screen. Although I have Kobo app and Coolreader on it, I have never used the phone for serious reading. I sometimes use it for web browsing only.

[DrNefario]

Most days. I try to read a short story every day, and most of the time that will be on my phone. I don't carry an ereader around with me all day, but I am always near my phone, and it does kindle and ePub.

I don't use it for my "main" book, but I'm fine with it for short stories.

The screen is comparatively large, almost impractically so, and it's the sharpest screen in the house, I think, with a higher resolution than this much larger iPad. The downside is the poor battery life.

I never read books on my iPhone, because I always have my Kindle Voyage with me. I read all sorts of other things on it, though, such as email, websites, etc.

[tuskin]

Every day.

I often use my Galaxy Note 3 to read the books, particularly when I travel without my Kobo.

[howyoudoin]

Never, which is why my phone isn't listed as a device on the left here.

Its because of the screen size and battery life. Leisure reading on e-ink, and work and study PDFs on goodreader on the tablet.
