Does anyone else read constantly on their Iphone?

Post by christena87 »

People look at me like I'm a teen who cant stay off my phone, lol. And I feel like I may be losing my eyesight because of the small letters! But haven't made the switch to a "reader" yet. Anyone else or am I alone on this one?!

I never used to read on my phone, but once I got myself an IPhone, I am constantly reading books on it.

No I don't. I prefer to read on my kindle.

Yes I always read on my iPhone when I'm on the train underground. The letters may be little, but I just don't want to carry around extra baggage like a Kindle or tablet. It's just too much. My phone has my everything in it and being able to download and read books on it has made it even more useful.

Whenever my son is gone I tend to read on his kindle, but any other time I read on my android. I loved reading on my iphone (before my youngest taught it to swim), the android is not quite as user friendly. I love the convenience of always having a whole bookshelf in my pocket! My husband used to get mad thinking I was texting to the world while in bed, now he knows better.

I do, even though I have both a Kindle and an iPad. I always have the phone with me, so it is easier to read on it than hunt up another device. However, if I am settling in for a good, long, couple-of-hours-long reading session, then I will grab a larger format device.

I prefer to the Ipad or the Nook. My eyesight is not good enough to read on my phone.

Hi!

I have a nook, so I tend to use that more than my phone. But if I'm bored in class, I will sneak a few pages on my phone. :P

I do. It's really convenient, it's like having a library in your pocket. :)
Wherever I am and whenever I feel like reading I could just get my phone out and read.
And also I can read even with the lights off and so my parents wouldn't know that I'm reading late at night. ;)

No way, it's too small, my eyesight is already ruined anyway. My nook works perfectly for me :)

I read on my iPhone sometimes when I am in bed because I can hide the brightscreen better since it bothers my husband. I also read on my phone when my kindle is dead and I can't find the charger. I prefer my kindle tho because the letters are bigger

The smartphone I have now has a good enough screen that I don't feel like it is bothering my eyes too bad.
