Of course I still read books but only on the Kindle,come to think of it I haven't bought a single magazine for years as the internet seems to have all the information I need.
Have your reading habits changed over the years ?

I do most of my reading online now instead. Not only is it free but also far more enjoyable as there is some technology involved. Paper is so old fashioned and boring!
A relative bought me a book recently, it really did fill me with dread!

Normally these days I read on my Kindle but have let it slip of late when reaching the end of a series.
A few month ago I cancelled the subscription of my one and only magazine (PC Advisor) as I can get whatever info I need online.

I think I read on average 100 books a year (some of them are ebooks) and people don't even bother asking why I use the old fashioned two colour 3d glasses any more

Had to give up reading mags several years ago as I couldn't afford them anymore.

Mostly Kindle Paperwhite these days, but some formats don't lend themselves to Kindle so well, text books and technical books with large amounts of illustrations, although Kindle is getting better at these days.
There's still a pleasure picking up a heavy tome that has been well printed on good quality art paper, even if it does make the wrists ache after a while.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

Quote from: Petlew I'm a voracious reader, if its printed word I will read it....
I used to be like that.
If I went to someone's house and they had a new TV for example I would ask for the manual and sit reading it from cover to cover if given the chance.
I'm not quite so bad any more and will maybe only read a quarter plus the specs before handing it back.

Used to use the old fashioned cut and paste, literally cutting out bits of paper and glueing them onto a master sheet. We won a Crystal Clear award of which we were rather proud.
