Two, and the poll option pretty much sums me up exactly. My Voyage to read, and my iPhone to keep up with things.

I am joined by 3 cats - no room or tolerance for any gadget that doesn't purr ... I am a living heat source for the 3 freezing cats ... who pin me in place all night.

Recliner in living room is for gadgets ...

I keep my phone next to the bed since it is my alarm clock but I very rarely use it. I don't bring other gadgets in the room.

With all the gadgets and pets you wonder that there is room for the spousal unit.

He gets 6 inches on one edge of the bed. The spousal unit gets 6 inches on the other side.

Three for me. My Oasis lives on my bedside table. I'm really enjoying reading it at night with the white on black mode (my husband appreciates it, too). I put my phone on the bedside table in case one of my kids should need to reach me, and it's also my alarm clock; however, I put in ultra power-saving mode, which is monochrome with limited apps so as not to be a temptation. Finally, I bring my tablet up with me as well but rarely use it, unless I want to listen to a podcast or music to help me sleep (via bluetooth headphones so as not to disturb aforementioned spouse).

I voted one although I'm listening to audio book now with my Echo instead of Itouches rather than reading. The only time I read in bed was 3 years ago while recovering from surgery. The cats just shoo me to bed. I usually wake up with one or two on the end of the bed.

Have at least 4 in my nightstand but of those the Kobo H20 (original version) gets used most, followed by the iPod. Barely used the tablets this year since my eyes have been acting up and may need surgery.

Quite a lot. I have my mobile phone, though I hardly use that in my bedroom, my tablet, Kindle, Sonos (both to listen to music and podcasts) and my laptop on one of those rolling bedside tables. Occassionally, I will have my bluetooth speaker, though at home that lives in the bathroom except for when it needs be charged, when I'm not at home it will replace my Sonos. Then I have my tv with various devices attached to it (Chromecast, digital set top box with recorder and dvd/blu-ray player). And I almost forgot my Nintendo Switch.

Two. An eReader to read, and a phone as an alarm clock.

Just an old kindle touch, which I keep for my bedroom. I don’t trust a backlit screen at night. I also try to read something semi-boring so it doesn’t keep me awake. Sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn’t. I started the complete Sherlock Homes thinking the older style would lull me to sleep. Nope - too darned interesting!

Maybe five: Kindle, phone, iPad, Apple Watch, amazon Echo. Plus AirPods and the iPad pencil. And maybe a second Kindle, if I have a good TTS book ongoing....
