Me either.  That is one reason why I buy dead tree books.  I also spend 
up to 12 hours a day at one or all of my three computers writing 
software.  So the last thing I want to do at the end of the day is read 
on a computer for relaxation.

Both my father and my son read on Kindles though.  So I am the Luddite.
