I actually don't read in the bathtub anymore, but I do listen to an occasional audiobook (not on the kindle).

I know this has probably been asked....but where do you read?

I tend to read at night in bed...and thats it.  Ive read that if you dont read ALOT then a Kindle isnt going to be worth the money.  I LOVE reading on the Kindle.  Its easier to read on than trying to hold a paperback in bed comfortably.  I find the e-ink is better on my eyes than regular paperback books as well.  I wanted to take it everywhere I go, I even bought the Borsa Bella bags (Med Hobo and Lg Kindle bag), but I cant see myself putting the Kindle in my bag and carrying it with me.  It just makes my bag way to heavy for me to carry.  But I love it none the less.  so....

Where do you read?

 Hi, I just PM you about this link..

Anywhere I can.

In line at the post office.  At the doctor's office while I'm waiting for my appointment.  At my desk.  At home on my couch.  In bed.  In the tub.  In the car while my husband is driving (it's a GREAT distraction for me, since I have bad road anxiety).  Seriously, if I can...I'm reading.

I read just about everywhere w/ the kindle and dtb.  Before the Kindle came around, my purse had to be big enough to carry a paperback, and now it has to be big enough to carry the kindle.  DH is now loving the kindle for the tts option.  This morning I almost had the kindle read to me while I was in the shower, but since the bathroom is right across the hall from napping Boss I would have.

Mostly while I'm in the bath - I take long baths - but I love reading in bed too.  Not so much in the living room because there is always a sticky little hand grabbing my ereader and changing the page on me.   Angry

I take my Kindle with me almost everywhere, so whenever I have a spare moment, I read.  I do most of my reading at work at lunchtime and at night after my kids are asleep.

Mostly on the couch in the family room, runner up is the window seat in my office. With warm weather coming I'll add the hammock in the yard and occasionally the pool float (with a waterproof cover, of course). I used to read DTB in bed all the time, pretty much had to read at least a chapter in order to fall asleep but somehow that routine got replaced with TV.
Most of my handbags are big enough to hold my Kindle in its cover. Depending on where and how I'm traveling it's either in there or in my photo backpack along with the netbook and, of course, camera and gear. My phone is an Android, I look forward to a Kindle app for it so I can read during downtime at my daughter's track meets.

How about a new question:  What is the BEST place to read?  Not necessarily where you mostly read... just where you WISH you mostly read.

Here are my top three places:

* Sitting by a fireplace, with a glass of wine, listening to rain patter outside

* In a fishing boat on a beautiful lake, a fishing rod in one hand, my ereader in the other

* Lying on a tropical beach, a pina colada in hand, and around me are a few hula girls and monkey butlers

What are your top three ideal (even imaginary) reading places?

I am looking forward to reading my Kindle on the deck on a cruise this summer. I'll keep envisioning it in my mind now to keep my patience up until that vacation time! Deck chair, drink, Kindle, sun...

(1) Where I DO read my Kindle:

Like others, I have it with my always. I tuck it in my purse. It fits, sort of, though I have to struggle to close my purse (my friend Frank says tactfully "You need a bigger purse!"  Shocked). My favorite place to read is in my easy chair. Yesterday was a typical day. I read in my easy chair, at Frank's house in front of his computer, in Frank's car while waiting for him to get something at the hardware store, at the restaurant when he went to the men's room, and so on.

(2) Where do I wish I mostly read:

At the beach, at a library (I still love libraries), at home in my easy chair.
