I'm curious to find out how many people still use regular books and how many use other means to read these days. I'm giving more than one choice because I know we don't read all materials in the same formats all the time. Feel free to comment too!
What format do you usually use when reading a book or magazine?

For the most part, I read online but do read an occasional print magazine/book.

I need paper!!! Our internet is unreliable, my time is very spotty and I read in the bath tub.

I still read paperback. Call me old fashioned, but there's just something soothing about sitting down with a hot cup of tea and reading.

Usually paper!

I prefer tangible books to anything else. Reading a book online isn't the same. I don't want or own a Kindle (though they do save all that paper which is a plus, and eBooks tend to be pretty cheap).

I prefer reading books on paper instead of online, but I've never tried a Kindle before, but I have a feeling I'd like it.

I do a lot of reading online, but that's simply because I spend a lot of time on here. I prefer paper books and paper magazines.

If reading a book, I prefer a real hardbacked book. Reading a book any other way would not be pleasureable for me. I am a collector of books and love the way they look on a bookshelf, love the way they smell, love the feel of them in my hands.

Been moving more towards eBooks myself, though there#s still something to be said for traditional books. They have become relegated more to throne-room *cough* reading in our house though

I love holding paper books. I have tons of them on my shelf that I haven't read so there's no time soon that I'll even consider getting an e-reader b/c I need to read what I have first and that's going to take a long, long time.

I usually use paper to read books and my magazines. However, to get most of my news on the world and art, I use the interwebz.

I'm all about the paper. I occasionally do an e-book if there is something I really want to read that my library only has in that format, but I don't like it.

I usually like actual paper, but occasionally I like to read online.

We both have superb tablets now....Asus eee pad transformers. Have rendered our computers almost obsolete and unused...but when it comes to READING a book or magazine, we are both still so OLD SCHOOL. I want a paper magazine I can put down on the nightstand or bathroom counter. Reading on the tablet just does not "feel" right.

Usually I read online or paper forms. Even though I am engrossed in technology, I for some reason don't like ereaders.

I prefer online news articles, but a book I prefer in paper

I do the vast majority of my reading online. I don't have an e-Reader, but I'm planning to get one soon (maybe for Christmas?)

Online and in print. Don't really do the whole e-reader thing. If I'm gonna read something on a screen I'd rather it be my laptop.

E-readers are a cool idea and very convenient, but you just can't beat paper in my opinion. Definitely an environmental argument for e-readers though.

I've been having trouble finding a new book to read : (
