I sometimes think some people in the movie review thread are going to discover books one day and wonder why they wasted their time watching imdb 3.2/10 movies.

I rarely watch movies too.
 
I equally prefer reading Newspapers, magazines and online
 
I selected "Device", but only if it is an e-reader. Do like physical books as well, though.

In terms of phone and tablet, LCD and OLED aren't ideal to read from.
 
I went from reading books to reading ebooks to reading books. On the occasion, I will listen to an audiobook, but my attention isn't where it used to be. I just don't have the focus at the moment. I am just fine with paperbacks and hardbacks.
 
Kindle. Saves space, and I can read in the dark while the Mrs is asleep. Also a lot easier to cart around when travelling, etc.
 
Definitely kindle or iPad or phone. I can’t stand the thought of paper from books on my fingers it’s like someone scratching nails on a chalk board…
 
If I am being honest I'd use both said "tablet" and real physical books. It's much more fun, since at home you can sit on the couch on the couch under a blanket in this freezing country and read a nice physical book, but then when on road trips you can just take your tablet, kindle, phone and what not then your set. So id recomend both if its possible

If your idea of a device is a phone or tablet then yes.

Get a Kindle.

Had one for a bit. Gave to my bro last year, who travels extensively for work.

Think its a psychological thing. If it's not glorious animated eye candy my eyes now get tired :)

I remember when I was a kid. Libraries had a magic quality about them. So much fantastical adventure hidden in them.

alas.....screens, social media, anime, ex rated **** etc..... Kids today have so much to distract and waylay them
