You know you've been using an eReader too much... - Page 2

I, on the other hand, once picked up a book mark to save my place while reading on my Kindle.

That's the one that I did first!

I started reading on my PDA, and one day quite unthinkingly turned it over to "read the back cover". It's really not a good thing to burst out laughing when you're sitting alone in your office's cafeteria.

And yes, I've also done the "press my finger on a word" to get the definition.

Luckily, I've pretty much transitioned from reading print books. So other than occasionally wanting to "read the back", I'm quite happy with my eReader and the habits I've developed using it.

I flipping do this all the time. I touch monitors all the time as if they are my iPad.

In addition to trying to hit the 10-second replay button while listening to the car radio, I've attempted to "vote up/down" an editorial while reading a newspaper.

In the beginning, I kept pressing the frame on my Paperwhite waiting for the page to turn.

I get mad that there is no .com key on my laptop keyboard (and I was refusing to use it on my first iPad on purpose in the beginning, because I thought it was ridiculous).

I often catch myself touching my laptop screen to select an icon.
