I read a lot of books: more than 21 a year. I do not believe I would read more if I had a kindle. I am not interested in curling up with a good ebook.

I originally got a kindle to clear out my book shelf without getting rid of the books. Now I find myself reading a lot more, because I never used to have time to go to the book stores, or carry around the thick books I order online in my purse. Kindle is great for people who don't have a lot of space or time.

well, people who already read a lot are the people who purchase e-readers. Owning an e-reader didn't cause them to read more; reading a lot is what caused them to purchase an e-reader!

I've always been a very heavy reader, but since I got the Kindle app on my Mac Book Pro, I have been reading like mad. Not having to wait for what I want is fantastic; I like instant downloads. I wasn't sure I'd like Kindle, but it is amazing.

I do have kobo on my iPad but I'd much rather spend the money on books. It's not the same feeling cuddling up with my iPad in bed as it is with an actual book. Perhaps I'd feel differently if I had something smaller such as a kindle. But at least if I fall asleep and it falls off the bed, the book is much less likely to break!

Have a Kindle, and now read all. the. time. I've owned it 9 months and have been through 20 plus books, most pretty thick stuff (I rarely read fiction, but when I do I find it quicker). I thought I would miss books, but I don't. Much easier to read in bed and with one hand while standing on BART and while waiting in the car to pick up a kid at a dance or wherever. It's actually getting expensive, although I just discovered that our library loans e-books!

I read tons of books per year and I am not so sure those stats are relevent because they don't take into account the amount of books 'traditionalists' (are we actually having terms for that now?) loan from the library and friends and relatives. Personally I tried to read an e-book twice and failed miserably.

I buy way more ebooks these days than traditional books :D

The infographic makes it sound like buying an e-reader makes you read more. It's ALSO true that if you're a person who reads a lot, you're more likely to wish you had an e-reader. Why would someone who never reads a book shell out the cash for one?

I'll get an ebook reader when they made one I can safely read in the bathtub. :)

So is a person only considered a reader if their reading materials are books or e-books?

I read lots of books, have never read an e-book, but read many articles and editorials online, including short stories.

I don't own a kindle and I read an average of one book per week.

I've been reading less lately, and I'm a Kobo ereader owner. Mostly because the #$^&ing thing won't work, and customer service sucks!
