Justin1992 kudos to reading on your phone!!! That is a little small for me. As for using a tablet as a means for a reader, I LOVE IT! At one time I am reading at least 3 or 4 books. Being a traveler having the convenience of getting to bring all of my books rather than having to pick one is great!
At times I sometimes miss the comfort of the physical book, but all in all a tablet is the way to go.

I've tried reading on my phone too. The backlit screen is nice but tends to hurt my eyes after a while. I already wear glasses, so I don't need to add further strain.
I am just your typical movie nerd, postcard collector and aspiring writer.

Didn't discover that reading could be magic for me until 7th grade. Before that I was a perpetual motion machine I only stopped to read when I had to before then. Guess that quote about thanking a teacher is true.

Oh I understand. Many times the stories and such they made us read were boring; I always flipped through the book to find the more interesting and engaging stuff. Like fables, adventure stories, stuff about the Egyptions, etc.
