I don't think I have. I would be to afraid of getting my book wet. But there is always the option to having like kindle on your phone and putting your phone in a plastic bag.

Almost every night! I usually read books I've checked out from the library on my iPad.

Yes, it's how I relax. One time when I was young, I fell asleep for a second, my poor book.

Never. I think it is not compatible. Books do not enjoy wet places :) also I don't like spending much time in water so I would not be able to relax and enjoy reading.

No I can't say I have, for the same reason as many others. I fear getting the book wet. I'm generally quite clumsy, so the thought of taking a book into the bathroom is just a no go for me :D .

All the time. I actually can't remember the last time I had a bath and didn't read. I have a kobo H20 now so I don't gave to worry about any water damage. It's so relaxing!

I used to read in the bath all the time. I've actually dropped books into the bath on multiple occasions. At least one of my Anne (L.M. Montgomery) books still bears the scars of having been submerged for an instant.

My favorite place in the world is in a hot bath, with a good book, and a cup of coffee. The most relaxing place for a book to take you anywhere.

Taking a bath while reading a book is a hit or miss for me. Sometimes I absolutely enjoy it and other times I am just a sweaty mess in a bath with a book that is damp from getting splashed on. I am not one to take baths often though, but when I do I have to have a book otherwise I get utterly bored and am out within five minutes. I will say to those who have never tried it, if you are able, put an audio book on your phone and listen to that while in the bathtub. I have done that before and it's amazing how wonderful it is to just sit back, relax, & listen to a good story. :)

I do this every bath!! I find that epsom salt and a good book help me relax at the end of the day. I always take a bath before bed so it helps me sleep. Although sometimes.. I don't realized I read half the book and my fingers and toes end up all yucky. :P
