    I hardly get round to reading dead-tree books nowadays. But the e-reader and/or the phone manage to help me get my reading fix anyway. It's especially convenient if you like to get into series - book one finished, clickertyclick, next one started! Unless you're reading next to your bookshelf, that's faster.

    Thanks to e-reading, I finished five books in the days around Christmas. Would never have happened with regular books - wandering off from family and sitting in a corner with a book is not quite social, but if people start whipping out their phones and playing on them, I don't mind whipping out my phone and reading on it.
