Same thing here. There is nothing worse than carrying my books in boxes and being afraid to unpack them because I move every 7-8 months. I have a reader, but the feeling is definitely not the same. I also tend to at least read the introduction of every book I think might be of interest even if I do not read it all. I am not reading a book per day, though, as Alan Kay; one per week (and a couple dozen introductions)is closer to my limits with 2 children at home.


I now listen to a lot of audiobooks - I only listen to the unabridged ones otherwise it feels like cheating. The big advantage being I can listen to them while walking to/from work and while doing other things like cooking - that's probably 2 hours a day.

[NB Audible is awesome - I particularly like how you can return a book if you don't like it, something I've only done a couple of times but is a great feature to have].
