I read on my phone all the time. I got an app that gives me thousands of classic books for free so I'm always reading

Anymore, I do quite a bit of reading on my iPhone. I often buy books with iTunes gift cards.

Yes. I read all the time on my phone. I tend to read stuff on Wattpad though, so I don't know if it's the same. It's better than reading it on the computer. I don't generally read stuff from Kindle or iBooks too often.

If my phone is on night shift mode, DEFINITELY. This new setting doesn't strain your eyes as much as having the bright white light as one would normally have. Without this setting, I wouldn't be getting much reading done. So I'm very thankful.

I commute to Seattle for work and take the train, get off, walk across the street and get on the light rail. The whole time I keep my kindle in my hands and read while riding, waiting for crosswalks, riding the escalator up the 3 floors after I get off the light rail.

Everyone does it here. I don't read on my iPhone unless my kindle battery dies or I go somewhere where I thought I wouldn't need it and didn't bring it. My kindle fire is ONLY used for reading, my iPhone is used for communication and my iPad Pro is used for writing.

I don't know as if I would say reading on my smartphone constantly. I only read it for a little bit on my lunch break, just for awhile after work. I can't read on my smartphone right before bed otherwise it keeps me awake at night. So I save that for the weekend if I am into a really good book. That way it gives my eyes a rest.

I keep a book or two on my phone so that I can read at times when I find myself bored. For long stretches, I definitely find my Kindle to be much easier on my eyes.

I can't deal with reading on my phone. The text is small/have to flip pages too often. I totally will do it if I don't have another option though. It's just my least favorite way to read.

I use my phone almost exclusively unless I happen to get a gifted paper book or hit up a used book store--usually before the beach because no gadget can stand up to the sand.

It is very convenient for me to read on phone. Not to mention, it is a lot cheaper than reading on paperbacks.
