Do you do most of your mobile reading at home or on the go?
Just curious about how people are using their mobile devices (whether ereader or smartphone) to read (books or otherwise). Do you find you read more on these devices when you are at home or when you are out and about (commuting, waiting, etc.)?

I read DT, Cybook Gen3, or Kindle depending on the individual book's format.
I especially use the Gen3 or Kindle when traveling, but take at least one DT book for take off/landing situations. I read a lot of books. I reread most books. |

There was a thread like this just yesterday.
I've found a lot more time for books now with access to huge libs of classics in ebook format from the bus. Turns out it also made me read at home as well. I also browse the web and reply to posts from it, like this... ![]() |

At the moment I don't spend much time anywhere but at home, so naturally I read mostly at home... If I'd had an ereader a few years ago, when I spent 2 hours each day on a bus, that would have been different.
And I don't have a smartphone, just a regular cellphone to make calls. |

I read mostly at home ... when I'm home; but, I do bring it along on vacations.

I read mostly at home as well. My Kindle 3 has been gathering a bit of dust since I got my Nook Color.
I do bring my NC with me to work to read on my lunch break, and if I know I'm going to be stuck at a kid sport practice/event for a while I'll bring it as well. Since my smartphone is always with me, I never have to worry about being somewhere without a book. |

I read mostly at home, using my Kindle exclusively except for some reference books that I prefer in paperback.

Well, my phone is a dumbphone, I have a Kindle & Literati and rarely go anywhere. This was an easy poll for me.

My reader (Jetbook Lite) doesn't have email, wifi, and all that jazz.
I didn't need it, so I didn't pay for it. I don't get out as often as I used to, especially in the winter I tend to hibernate. But anytime I'm headed someplace I'll have to wait the book comes with. I do read at home much more than anywhere else. I love pulling my book out of my pocket and reading (or showing it off) ![]() |

Don't have a mobile device, don't have a smart phone. But my book decides what device I read from. Multiple devices, multipe different books. Location is of no consequence.

Hmm there is twice the same choice "read on my ereader only" in the poll.
I actually do most of my reading at work. I have craploads of freetime there and that's when I do my reading ![]() |
