I just finished Border Post 99. Currently working on the review. I personally prefer to read on my android phone but for some weird reason I, just recently, prefer reading with the calibre app on my laptop. Calibre can help with reading any format you can imagine and also convert from one format to the other

I have Kobo and I love it. It is a bit bigger than most of the e-readers, that's why I went for it. Haven't ever regretted it.

I read in any way I can. It’s true I read on Kindle and Nook more than I read actual paper book but both actually makes me happy. It depends on how good the book is, not what I’m reading it on.

I prefer reading on my computer rather than on my phone, tablet, or Kindle. I read on the Kindle app or a PDF in Preview. I like the larger screen and the ease with which I can take notes, as I am usually reading for work or to write a review.

I love my Kindle and I'm happy with how long the battery lasts. Lol. But I also have tons of books in iBooks, mainly because I can't transfer my old ebooks to my Kindle.

I am currently reading a Highlander Romance series by Monica McCarty but it's not going well so far. So I'm thinking of switching to a normal stand-alone romance books for a while.

Same, I use my android phone and tablet to read and mostly my Amazon app but I love android because I can also use the nook app, kobo, UB reader, or FB reader. I've completely given up paper at this point. I can read a book a day if I'm not busy and digital books let's me find and download faster. It also helps me hide the cover to whatever steamy romance novels I'm currently enjoying :)

Currently reading Wounded part 2 by Amy Lane which I would totally recommend!

I have a 1st gen Kindle Fire that's on its way out, so I mostly read on the Kindle app on my iPhone or the cloud reader on my laptop. The last book I finished was The Deadly Art Affair by K.M. Morgan. I got it for free on Amazon and it was actually pretty good. Right now I'm in the middle of reading Frogkisser! by Garth Nix and also A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. Both of those are physical books though. :D

I'm currently reading It by Stephen King on my iPhone. Saw the movie recently and it got me curious on how similar it is to the book.

I swing from my Kindle to library books. I usually read the books that I get here on onlinebookclub from my Kindle.

I have been living on my Kindle app on my iPhone lately! It makes it so much easier to read in snippets for a book I can't put down. The other day I was reading at red lights (god, that makes the commute so much easier!), in line at the store, every where! Anyone else doing this, or have I just gone over the edge of reader insanity? :D :techie-studyinggray: :lol2:

I read on whatever format I can get a free copy. I have a library app on my phone and use the library's website to download to my Kindle Paperwhite which I really love. Occasionally I'll read on my desktop. I have an account on openlibrary which doesn't have the best copies of books but they are free. Currently I am reading Origin by Dan Brown which I am anxious to get back to.
