Reading on your smart phone

Yes I do some times when in transit.Don't prefer it though.

I used to do this on my iPhone. Then I dropped it... and now its the "Stained Glass" edition. Now I'm back to my desktop PC for any serious online reading.

I read on my iPhone only at work as it is convenient and its not safe to leave a book or tablet laying around as it may "walk" off when I'm not at my desk. I don't particularly like reading on my phone as the text is small and I read rather fast so Im constantly moving my thumbs.

I don't read on my smart phone. i usually read news & articles but not books. i prefer my Sony e-reader for that

I actually just recently found out how easy and awesome using the Kindle app on my phone is. For some reason I didn't think it would transfer all my books on it, but now that I do I love reading on my phone when I just have a few spare minutes to read. Very Convenient!

I love the physicality of a book. I'd rather drive to the book store over reading on my smart phone/iPod. I love the smell of them as well as really neat bookmarks

I read on my smartphone, and while I'm not a speed reader, (If anyone has any useful tips, please either send them to me at [email protected] or PM, it will be appreciated very much ) I quite like it. I have encountered some problems though. I sometime find the format a bit tricky to go over, but the mobility is worth it!

I have a book reader on my phone, but as a rule I don't use it. Just not comfortable to read on the phone. I prefer my Kindle Fire and iPad, and if I don't have either one, I'd rather pick up a book than try to read on my phone.

I occasionally read on my iPhone, usually if I'm out somewhere that I'll be waiting for long periods of time and I can't be bothered to lug around a book or my Kindle. I do enjoy reading short stories on my phone, though. They seem to go by much quicker.

I don't have a laptop or a kindle, so reading on my phone is the only option unless I want to carry around a heavy book bag. I think it would be a real pain to read on a laptop though, just because they're so clumsy. But maybe laptops have gotten better for reading since the XP era...

Reading on my phone tends to be hit or miss for me because battery can be an issue for when I need my phone for other things.

I spend all day on a computer and wouldn't read on a phone because of the eye strain. Reading on a kindle is just like reading on a paper book.

I heard that they're planning on making the Vatican archives available online soon. My first thought was, "Oh come on, lies!" Haha, but I admit that would be incredible. Although I imagine it would take a very long time and would need strict security. Wouldn't that be neat, though, having ancient literature on your phone? Who would have thought? Insane.

I tried reading on my smart phone but the text is too small. I'll have to stick to my Kindle or real books.

You can increase the text size in every eReader app that I know of. Depending on your phone it might not be ideal to read on it, but it's better than nothing in a pinch, I always say! Having my phone on me and having books on there has saved me from boredom so many times I can't even count.

Its easier to read books in smartphones if you are part of the busy life.Whenever we are travelling or bored,just open the book in the phone. It is so handy.
