I still don't have an e-reader, so I read mostly on my computer and/or laptop. But I plan on using my future mobile phone. And I got an excellent overview just recently. :-)

I mostly read on my phone right now. We got my mother-in-law a Kindle for Xmas last year but she's not using, so she's giving it to me when they visit this autumn. I think once I start reading on the Kindle I'll be more likely to buy ebooks...although I am going to make myself first read through some of the stack of physical books I've been meaning to get to.

Have you decided on a new phone yet? *hugs*

*hugs back*

I haven't fully decided, since the HTC I found interesting isn't exactly cheap. So I will need a bit of time after the move to see what kind of phone I can afford and what kind of contract I would need, and if there might be a combination that would lessen the price of the phone. But all of that is for after the move.

I've been enjoying reading on my phone, but I think I will appreciate the larger screen on the Kindle.

I also don't have an e-reader yet, but will pronbably buy a Kindle. Interesting poll. What brought it on? :)

I started reading on my phone a couple of months ago and found it a very smooth transition from paper to digital. I know my Flist is full of book lovers, so I was just curious about how everyone here is reading these days.

poor uni student with hardly any living space, remember.

All the more reason to go completely digital!

I love reading on my phone. It is strange, though, to think I'll eventually get to the point where I no longer buy many (or any) physical books.

I started out reading on my phone but with my eyes the print size is important. So now I have a PocketBook Ereader. One of the cheaper ones, medium size, battery holds for a week when I actually read, and I'm pretty happy with it.

Will I buy the HP books? They were out as pdfs only shortly after the print versions and I had them for easier research when I was still writing fic but I don't think I am going to read through all of them again.

I think I had the PDFs at some point too, but I'm not sure where they are any more. I'm undecided about the HP ebooks. I still have some writing projects I want to finish, so they'd be good to have for reference and I would read them again, I'm sure. Will have to think about it.
